摘要:Excitatory glycine receptors (eGlyRs), composed of the glycine-binding NMDA receptor subunits GluN1 and GluN3A, have recently emerged as a novel neuronal signaling modality that challenges the traditional view of glycine as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Unlike conventional GluN1/GluN2 NMDARs, the distribution and role of eGlyRs remain poorly understood. Here, we show that eGlyRs are highly enriched in the ventral hippocampus (VH) and confer distinct properties on this brain region. eGlyRs di...

摘要:Scientists can contribute to society in numerous ways. Some scientists discover new biological principles and found entirely new fields. Some scientists are inspiring mentors and create the next generation of inclusive lab leaders. Some scientists are entrepreneurs who develop clinically effective therapeutics. Some scientists are trusted advisors to government and pharmaceutical companies. Some scientists are visionary institutional leaders who build new departments. From this menu of activit...
