TL;DR: Tetanic synaptic stimulation induced a rapid delivery of tagged receptors into dendritic spines as well as clusters in dendrites and may contribute to the enhanced AMPA receptor-mediated transmission observed during long-term potentiation and activity-dependent synaptic maturation.

TL;DR: Stargazer, an ataxic and epileptic mutant mouse, lacks functional AMPA receptors on cerebellar granule cells, and expression of a mutant stargazin lacking the PDZ-binding domain in hippocampal pyramidal cells disrupts synaptic AMPA receptor receptors, indicating that st argazin-like mechanisms for targeting AM PA receptors may be widespread in the central nervous system.

TL;DR: It is reported that Shank proteins also bind to Homer, and Shank may cross-link Homer and PSD-95 complexes in the PSD and play a role in the signaling mechanisms of both mGluRs and NMDA receptors.

TL;DR: Staining was most prominent in forebrain structures such as the olfactory bulb and tubercle, septal nuclei, amygdaloid complex, hippocampus, induseum griseum, habenula, and interpeduncular nucleus, and in the cerebellum, with limited evidence of stained presynaptic terminals, excepting Bergmann glia.

TL;DR: Comparison with previous studies of localization of other glutamate receptor types revealed that NMDAR1 may colocalize with these other types in many neurons throughout the nervous system, implying that multiple types of NMDA receptors exist.
