The role of the NMDA receptor subunit GluN2A in synaptic and structural plasticity in the mouse dentate gyrus

The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor has been closely associated with learning and memory process in the hippocampus. The different subunits that comprise the NMDA receptor convey unique biophysical properties to these receptors. The GluN2A and GluN2B subunits (formerly NR2A and NR2B, respecti...
