Editorial: Regulation of AMPA Receptors, From the Genetic to the Functional Level.

Abstract

the central and peripheral systems. They are in postsynaptic cells, but can also be found in pre-synaptic sites and glia processes. glutamate the postsynaptic AMPARs mediate the fast excitatory synaptic transmission which can be changed in an activity dependent manner and involve a minority of Ca 2 + permeable AMPARs. This Research Topic describes several new mechanisms that regulate AMPAR trafficking and plasticity;
