Excitatory amino-acid transporters (EAATs) terminate glutamate's actions and thus maintain proper neuronal function. These proteins are expressed in vast quantities by glia, but are also present ...

This study presents valuable insights into the organization of second-order circuits for gustatory neurons, particularly how they integrate opposing taste inputs and the metabolic states that regulate ...

These mice express lower levels of the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase, which synthesizes gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a common flavor additive that has a reputation for being harmful to your health. While some people may be more sensitive to MSG than others, experts generally ...

Regulates neurotransmission by transporting DA back into presynaptic terminals. See Augood et al (1993) Brain Res Mol Brain Res. Grik4 (KA-1): Ionotropic glutamate receptor responsive to kainate. KA-1 ...

Munch on a packet of chips, slurp up a bowl of noodles or tuck into a salami sandwich, and there's a good chance you're also eating monosodium glutamate. Over the decades, monosodium glutamate — ...
