The amino acid glutamate plays a key role in brain function. One of the major roles of glutamate is to mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission via activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). More recently, however, it has become clear that glutamate also serves a regulatory function thr
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) modulate several G-protein-related signal transduction pathways including intracellular calcium (iCa 2؉ ) that control both neuronal development and demise. As an initial investigation, we characterized the ability of specific mGluR subtypes to modulate iCa
## Abstract Platelet‐activating factor (PAF) is a potent phospholipid messenger in the nervous system that participates in synaptic plasticity and in pathologic processes, including neurodegeneration. Oxidative stress plays important roles in neuronal cell death. To define the interaction between P
