Glutamate uptake blockers

AMPA receptors. This difference in quantal content is temperature-sensitive, being reduced at 37°C as compared to room temperature (Asztely et al., 1997). The authors suggest that the temperature effect could be due to glutamate transporters more efficiently preventing spillover at 37 C. This interpretation is strengthened by the finding that the temperature effect is sensitive to dihydrokainic acid, a glutamate uptake blocker.
