Assessment of glutamatergic synaptic transmission and plasticity in brain slices: relevance to bioelectronic approaches
Abstract Background Glutamatergic neurons represent the largest neuronal class in the brain and are responsible for the bulk of excitatory synaptic transmission and plasticity. Abnormalities in glutamatergic neurons are linked to several brain disorders and their modulation represents a potential op...
