Abstract

AMPA receptors form a major subdivision of the glutamate receptor family that mediates excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. Currents through AMPA receptors can be up-or down-regulated by compounds that allosterically modulate receptor kinetics through binding sites distinct from that for glutamate. One of those modulators is the benzothiadiazide IDRA- 21 which has been reported to enhance synaptic transmission and be effective in ...
