Glutamate is critically involved in the regulation of cognitive functions in humans. There is, however, sparse evidence regarding how blocking glutamate action at the receptor site during a cognitive task affects brain activation. In the current study, the effects of the glutamate antagonist memantine...
In conclusion, understanding the role of glutamate in neuronal communication and its regulation is crucial for comprehending various physiological and pathological processes in the brain. From its synthesis to its receptors and regulation, glutamate is involved in a wide range of functions, including lea...
Glutamate signaling modulates a broad range of behaviors mediated by diverse receptors in C. elegans (Whittaker and Sternberg, 2004). Glutamate is involved in the regulation of a broad spectrum of behaviors. Examples include salt chemotaxis (Chalasani et al., 2007), habituation in tap-withdrawal ...
Define glutamate. glutamate synonyms, glutamate pronunciation, glutamate translation, English dictionary definition of glutamate. n. A salt or ester of glutamic acid, especially one that functions as a neurotransmitter that excites cells of the central n
Due to its critical role in neuronal plasticity, glutamate is involved in a number of critical brain functions15,16,17 including learning and memory18. It is important to note that glutamate is produced in the nerve terminals predominantly from two sources: (1) the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) ...
whereasStgs1bis expressed in bothphloemand xylem. These expression patterns indicate that GS2 is probably involved in ammonia assimilation in leaves, whereas GS1 fulfills this function in non-photosynthetic tissues and probably is mainly involved in the mobilization of N from leaves to other tissues....
Meanwhile, China's food safety watchdog said it had revoked the licenses of 564 factories involved in producing problematic monosodium glutamate (MSG), rice and frozen noodles, stepping up its crackdown on unsafe food production to meet a deadline late this year set by the central government Amo...
An important limitation of our study is the small sample size of the MRS study, and replication in a larger sample is warranted. Furthermore, we only analyzed a small number of genes. Examining additional genes known to be implicated in depression and involved in either the glutamate/glutamine...
We argue that disrupted homeostasis at the tripartite synapse is significantly involved in impaired cognitive function, and that restored glutamate homeostasis should be considered as a marker of therapeutic efficacy and a target for new drug development. 2. Measuring Cognition in Humans and Rodents: ...
