Ic Acid and Kainate Receptor Competitive Antagonists AMPA and kainate antagonists typically possess an -amino group connected by a heterocyclic ring system to an acidic moiety (Szymanska et al., 2009). The first ?widely used competitive AMPA receptor antagonists were quinoxalinediones (CNQX, DNQX, NBQX), which were highly selective over NMDA receptors but antagonized kainate receptors. NBQX seems
From postsynaptic granule cells at the time of synapse formation. The addition of recombinant Wnt7a is sufficient to induce changes in growth-cone morphology in mossy fiber explant culture, whereas blocking endogenous Wnts inhibits the maturation process (Hall et al. 2000). In Wnt7a knockout mice, rosette formation is delayed, which suggests that Wnt7a is an important player in this process and th
