Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors

In the mammalian CNS, the principle excitatory neurotransmitter is L-Glutamate, which acts through G-protein coupled (metabotropic) receptors and ligand gated ion channels (ionotropic receptors). These receptors play a key role in excitatory synaptic plasticity and synaptic transmission, which are responsible for memory and learning.
