General description

AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) activates excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSC).

Application

(S)-AMPA has also been used to activate rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg), to study aversive conditioning in relation with cocaine-induced avoidance behaviors in mice.
(S)-AMPA has been used to selectively eliminate the neural cochlear component of adult barn owls by destroying afferent synapses.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Active enantiomer of (RS)-AMPA zwitterion. Potent agonist at the AMPA subclass of ionotropic glutamate receptors.

AMPA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) represent the major excitatory neurotransmitter receptor in the developing and adult vertebrate CNS. They are crucial for the normal hardwiring of glutamatergic circuits but also fine tune synaptic strength by cycling into and out of

Abnormal use-dependent synaptic plasticity is universally accepted as the main physiological correlate of memory deficits in neurodegenerative disorders. It is unclear whether synaptic plasticity deficits take place during neuroinflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and its mouse model, experimental

The strength of synaptic communication at central synapses depends on the number of ionotropic glutamate receptors, particularly the class gated by the agonist AMPA (AMPARs). Cornichon proteins, evolutionarily conserved endoplasmic reticulum cargo adaptors, modify the properties of vertebrate AMPARs when
