What is the difference between synaptic and Extrasynaptic?
What is the difference between synaptic and Extrasynaptic? Synaptic NMDARs are generally transiently and intensely activated by the trans-synaptic release of glutamate, while extrasynaptic NMDARs are typically activated chronically, by elevated levels of ambient glutamate. What are Extrasynaptic sites? Extrasynaptic NMDA receptors are glutamate-gated neurotransmitter receptors that are localized to non-synaptic sites on the neuronal […]
