摘要
Glutamate mediates most excitatory synaptic transmission in the brain. Synaptic strength at glutamatergic synapses shows a remarkable degree of use-dependent plasticity and such modifications may represent a physiological correlate to learning and memory. Glutamate receptors and downstream enzymes are organized at synapses by cytoskeletal proteins containing multiple protein-interacting domains. Recent studies demonstrate that these 'scaffolding' proteins within the postsynaptic specialization have the capacity to promote synaptic maturation, influence synapse size, and modulate glutamate receptor function.
