Vesicular glutamate release from central axons contributes to myelin damage

Neuronal activity can lead to vesicular release of glutamate. Here the authors demonstrate that vesicular release of glutamate occurs in axons during ischemic conditions, and that an allosteric modulator of GluN2C/D is protective in models of ischemic injury.
