DESCRIPTION:Excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain is med
 iated by glutamate\nacting on two main types of ionotropic glutamate recep
 tor\, known as AMPA and NMDA receptors.\nWhereas AMPA receptors are respon
 sible for fast glutamatergic transmission\,\nNMDA receptors are important 
 for synaptic plasticity.\nIn my talk\, I will review recent findings about
  the synaptic localisation of NMDA receptors\nrequired for long-term poten
 tiation and depression at neocortical excitatory synapses.\n
