Increasing data suggest that glutamate might act as a cell-signaling molecule in non-neuronal tissues such as the skin. Here we demonstrate the presence of functional N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptors in human keratinocytes. NMDA receptor expression strongly reflects the degree of

Modulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated ion currents by serotonin was investigated with a two-electrode voltage clamp technique in Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain RNA. After a 1-min application of 200 nM serotonin a transient potentiation of the NMDA receptor-mediated ion
The cell-attached patch-clamp mode has been applied in cultured rat hippocampal neurons to record single channel currents through the ion channel which is coupled to activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. A channel, with a conductance of 37 pS, was studied with either NMDA or D-cis-
## Abstract Light information reaches the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through a subpopulation of retinal ganglion cells. Previous work raises the possibility that brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its high‐affinity receptor TrkB may be important as modulators of this excitatory input i
