General description
An excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter. Selective agonist of the glutamate receptor that regulates Ca2+ channels. Important in long-term potentiation, ischemia, and epilepsy. NMDA receptors are involved in the "fine tuning" of synaptic connections in the developing brain. Chronic treatment with NMDA produces structural changes in synaptic morphology. Over-excitation of NMDA receptors causes neuronal degeneration and cell death.
