Application

(±)-AMPA has been used:
  • in vivo

  • whole-cell patch-clamp recording in Müller glial cells
  • to test its excitotoxic effects in hippocampal slice cultures
  • in retinal horizontal cells (HCs) culture to test its effect on Ca2+ signals

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent excitatory amino acid that interacts selectively with central AMPA/kainate receptors.

Endocannabinoid signaling has been shown to mediate synaptic plasticity by retrogradely inhibiting presynaptic transmitter release in several systems. We found that endocannabinoids act tonically to regulate AMPA miniature postsynaptic current (mPSC) frequency in embryonic motor circuits of the chick spinal

Various effects of acorn extract have been reported including antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity against cancer cells, and the levels of acetylcholine and its related enzyme activities in the dementia mouse models. However, it is unclear whether acorn extract inhibits glutamate-induced calcium

Presynaptic inhibition onto axons regulates neuronal output, but how such inhibitory synapses develop and are maintained in vivo remains unclear. Axon terminals of glutamatergic retinal rod bipolar cells (RBCs) receive GABAA and GABAC receptor-mediated synaptic inhibition. We found that perturbing GABAergic

The mouse retina contains a single type of horizontal cell, a GABAergic interneuron that samples from all cone photoreceptors within reach and modulates their glutamatergic output via parallel feedback mechanisms. Because horizontal cells form an electrically coupled network, they have

Developmental nicotine exposure (DNE) impacts central respiratory control in neonates born to smoking mothers. We previously showed that DNE enhances the respiratory motor response to bath application of AMPA to the brainstem, although it was unclear which brainstem respiratory neurons
