| 概 要 |
In central nervous systems, excitatory neurotransmission is essential for our memory and learning. Glutamate, a typical excitatory neurotransmitter in animals, is recognized by glutamate receptors in synapses. Glutamate receptors are categorized into ionotropic- or metabotropic-types. These are composed of 25 subtypes, each of which has essential roles in neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity, a putative molecular mechanism of our memory. Thus, it is highly desirable to visualize or activate a glutamate receptor subtype selectively in neurons.
