TL;DR

The properties of the excitatory amino acid receptor classes, particularly those of the NMDA class, are described, and how properties of this receptor permit a unifying concept for understanding plasticity associated with development and learning are indicated.

Abstract

The brain's default mode network consists of discrete, bilateral and symmetrical cortical areas, in the medial and lateral parietal, medial prefrontal, and medial and lateral temporal cortices of the human, nonhuman primate, cat, and rodent brains. Its ...Read More
