It is a process that is triggered very quickly, just a few minutes after acute liver damage occurs, with the amino acid glutamate playing a key role. The authors write in Nature that, in light of ...

First author Tim Ziebarth shows the atypical glutamate release events on the screen, which were visualized using a fluorescence sensor. Our brain requires a constant supply of energy. A disrupted ...

Upon energy restriction, an unusual release of the neurotransmitter glutamate can be observed. The overabundance of glutamate ultimately causes damages to nerve cells. Our brain requires a constant ...

Since late March, beachgoers have encountered hundreds of washed-up animals suffering from domoic acid poisoning with symptoms that include seizures, erratic and dangerous behavior and comas.

But that started to change about ten years ago for glutamate—the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in vertebrates that plays an essential role in learning, memory, and information ...

Scientists have long known that a major molecule responsible for neuron-to-neuron communications is the neurotransmitter glutamate, a molecule abundant in the spaces between neurons. Its landing ...

Upon energy restriction, an unusual release of the neurotransmitter glutamate can be observed. The overabundance of glutamate ultimately causes damages to nerve cells. Upon energy restriction ...

"Especially in the case of strokes, where the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, there is often an extracellular increase in the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, which severely ...
