Previous research studies suggest that L-aspartate, like L-glutamate, triggers excitatory activity on neurons. L-aspartate functions with L-glutamate in the synaptic vesicles of asymmetric excitatory synapses. But, the total concentration of these in the human brain (0.96-1.62 ?mol/gram wet weight), their extracellular concentrations in the cortex as measured by microdialysis (1.62 ?M for L-aspartate and 9.06 ?M for L-glutamate) and their… Read More
The term excitotoxicity was first employed to demonstrate the capability of L-glutamate, in addition to structurally-associated amino acids, to destroy nerve cells, a process which has been suggested to occur in acute and chronic health issues of the central nervous system (CNS). Excitotoxicity is caused by the excess stimulation of iGluRs into a characteristic loss of cell bodies and dendrites… Read More

L-glutamate is one of the main excitatory neurotransmitters in the human brain and it plays an essential role in practically all activities of the nervous system. In the following article, we will discuss the general principles of L-glutamate signaling in the brain. Then, we will demonstrate this scheme by describing the different pools of extracellular glutamate, including the synaptic, the… Read More
