Abstract excerpt
The alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA)-type ionotropic glutamate receptor mediates fast excitatory neurotransmission in the vertebrate brain and is important for synaptic plasticity and the initial induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). This study found that the putative Caenorhabditis elegans AMPA receptor gene, glr-1, plays a significant role in experience-dependent behavior in C....
