The number of AMPA receptors on the cell surface is abnormally increased in the brain of Cln3-knock-out mice
Nerve cells in the brain communicate with each other by electrical and chemical signals. The amino acid, glutamate is the main stimulatory chemical signal in the brain. When a nerve terminal releases glutamate, it binds and activates
