Special Issue on Glutamate Receptors

Glutamate Receptors are synaptic receptors located primarily on the membranes of neuronal cells. Glutamate (glutamic acid) is particularly abundant in the nervous system and especially prominent in the human brain. Many neurodegenerative diseases has been linked or speculated to be linked to the central role of Glutamate Receptors in excitotoxicity and prevalence in the central nervous system, and several other conditions have been further linked to glutamate receptor gene mutations or receptor autoantigen/antibody activity.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring glutamate receptors. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Function of Glutamate receptors
• Types of Glutamate receptors
• Structure of Glutamate receptors
• Mechanism of Glutamate receptors
• Glutamate receptors regulation
• General clinical implications

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Glutamate Receptors” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
