Abstract
Within recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the role of postsynaptic receptors for excitatory amino acids within the mammalian central nervous system, and this has led to the characterisation of at least three subtypes (viz. those activated by N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA), quisqualate and kainate) on the basis of electrophysiological studies (see Watkins, this volume). In contrast to the postsynaptic receptors, relatively little attention has been paid to either the existence (although of course their possible presence might contribute substantially to the binding seen on synaptic plasma membranes) or characteristics of presynaptic receptors for excitatory amino acids.
