It is now widely accepted that glutamate is the major excitatory neurotrans- mitter in the mammalian central nervous system. The main criteria for accept- ing a molecule as a chemical transmitter appear to be fulfilled at several synapses: Glutamate mimics the action of the natural transmitter in the post- synaptic neuron (CURTIS et al. 1959), glutamate is present in presynaptic ele- ments (OTTERSEN and STORM-MATHISEN 1984), and glutamate is released from central neurons in an activity-dependent manner (BRADFORD 1970). The postsynaptic receptors that mediate the effects of glutamate are markedly diverse. Based on their activation by agonists that act more ... Read more
