Abstract

Since their discovery in the 1950s, ionotropic glutamate receptors represent a class of receptor proteins that mediate fast excitatory transmission in the central nervous system. In this chapter, we describe the extensive studies of agents that act at the various subtypes of ionotropic glutamate receptor and how these agents have been used to delineate the physiological and pathophysiological roles of these receptors.
