Abstract excerpt
Glutamate released in the basal ganglia is involved in the expression of clinical symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's or Huntington's. Neostriatal neurons are the targets of glutamatergic inputs derived from the cortex and the thalamus acting via AMPA-type as well as other glu...
