receptors (AMPARs)
mediate the majority of
fast excitatory synaptic
transmission in the brain.
AMPA receptors are
abundant and widely
distributed in the central
nervous system.
Hippocampus, outer layer
of the cortex, basal
ganglia, olfactory regions,
lateral septum, and
amygdala of the CNS are
all enriched with GluA1,
GluA2, and GluA3
subunits.
