Changes in NMDA receptor contribution to synaptic transmission in the brain in a rat model of glaucoma
2010, Neurobiology of DiseaseCitation Excerpt :NMDA receptors have been shown to be important for the development and refinement of the correct topographic projections from RGCs to the superior colliculus (Simon et al., 1992; Shi et al., 1997). Previous studies from our laboratory have also shown the importance for NMDA receptors in visual function of the rat superior colliculus during development and in adulthood (Roberts et al., 1991; Binns and Salt, 1994, 1998). In addition to the glutamatergic excitatory processes, there are substantial inhibitory influences within the superior colliculus with all three types of GABA receptor (GABAA, GABAB, and GABAC) being seen in the area from birth (Bowery et al., 1987; Chu et al., 1990; Boue-Grabot et al., 1998; Wegelius et al., 1998; Pasternack et al., 1999; Clark et al., 2001).
