Neuro transmitter Receptor Subtype Location/Function/Effects /symptoms of excess or deficit if applicable Distribution (ie: CNS/PNS, GI, vascular) Drug classes that target this neurotransmitter or receptor Specific medications that target this neurotransmitter or receptor Glutamate AMPA α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5- methyl-4- isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs) mediate the majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. AMPA receptors ...

Ligand-gated ion channels, modulates cell excitability by allowing the flow of calcium and sodium ions into the cell. Located at the CNS in neurons and glia. Excess has resulted in schizophrenia, epilepsy, and mania Ligand-gated ion channels, strengthens synapses and involved in strong memory formation. Excess is associated with memory and learning impairments, psychosis, and excitotoxic brain injury Ligand-gated ion channels Functions as post synaptic inhibition by CI-influx Lack of...
