Calcium-permeable AMPA Receptors and Retinal Ganglion Cell Death during Glaucoma

'This study investigated the D-serine modulation of non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors expressed by inner retinal neurons. To our knowledge, this is the first study to address specifically the effect of D-serine on AMPA ⁄ kainate receptors in intact central nervous system tissue, to identify its effect on calcium permeable AMPA receptors and to report the endogenous inhibition of AMPA ⁄ kainate receptors.' - from the abstract of Dr. Baldridge's paper published in volume 35 of the European Journal of Neuroscience, 2012.
