Front Synaptic Neurosci. 2022 Jul 12;14:952564.1663-3563http://hdl.handle.net/10668/20651AMPA receptors (AMPARs) are widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. They are mainly located in postsynaptic cells, but can also be found in pre-synaptic sites and glia processes. Upon glutamate stimulation, the postsynaptic AMPARs mediate the fast excitatory synaptic transmission which can be changed in an activity dependent manner and might involve a minority of Ca2+ permeable AMPARs. This Research Topic describes several new mechanisms that regulate AMPAR trafficking and plasticity; in addition to give novel insight to the function of AMPAR in the hypothalamus.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/AMPARneural remodelingneurodegenerationreceptor trackingsynaptic plasticityReceptors, AMPAGlutamic AcidSynaptic TransmissionHypothalamusPeripheral Nervous SystemNeurogliaresearch article35903421open accessHipotálamoNeuroglíaReceptores AMPASistema nervioso periféricoTransmisión sinápticaÁcido glutámico10.3389/fnsyn.2022.952564PMC9319205https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnsyn.2022.952564/pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9319205/pdf
