Astrocytes increase the activity of synaptic GluN2B NMDA receptors

Astrocytes increase the activity of synaptic GluN2B NMDA receptors

Astrocytes regulate excitatory synapse formation and surface expression of glutamate AMPA receptors (AMPARs) during development. Less is known about glial modulation of glutamate NMDA receptors (NMDARs), which mediate synaptic plasticity and regulate neuronal survival in a subunit- and subcellular l...
