TL;DR
In this study, in situ hybridization techniques were employed to map the distribution of enteric neurons which express mRNA for the glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDAR1) in adult rats with a 1.43-kB riboprobe cleaved from a clone of the NMDA receptor.
Abstract
In this study, in situ hybridization techniques were employed to map the distribution of enteric neurons which express mRNA for the glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDAR1). We hybridized tissue sections from the stomach, duodenum, ileum and descending colon of adult rats with a 1.43-kB riboprobe cleaved from a clone of the NMDA receptor. Enteric neurons expressing the mRNA were found in both myenteric and submucosal ganglia at each of the sampling sites. Possible functions of NMDA receptors on enteric neurons are discussed.

Molecular cloning identified three complementary DNA species of rat brain, encoding NMDA receptor subunits NMDAR2A (NR2A), NR2B, and NR2C, which are 55 to 70% ientical in sequence, and these are structurally related, with less than 20% sequence identity, to other excitatory amino acid receptor sub Units.

Evidence is accumulating that the brain damage associated with anoxia, stroke, hypoglycemia, epilepsy, and perhaps neurodegenerative illnesses such as Huntington's disease may be at least partially produced by excessive activation of NMDA receptors.

Selective immunocytochemical visualization of the putative transmitters glutamate and γ-aminobutyrate by the use of antibodies raised against the amino acids coupled to bovine serum albumin with glutaraldehyde suggests that the transmitter amino acids are significantly concentrated in synaptic vesicles.

The results suggest that potentiated and heterosynaptic depression arise from different mechanisms, and that potentiation is confined to the set of terminals activated by a conditioning train, whereas the depression is generalized to the whole neurone.

210 Citations1988SP Schneider, Perl Er
It is concluded that a subset of spinal neurons directly excited by dorsal root fibers have excitatory membrane receptors activated by L- glutamate, consistent with the concept that L-glutamate or a substance binding to the receptors it activates is released from the central terminals of some primary afferent fibers and mediates fast synaptic transmission from them to certain spinal neurons in the dorsal horn.

Results demonstrate the existence of receptors for excitatory amino acids (possibly of NMDA type) in the myenteric plexus of the guinea pig and suggest that the myEnteric cholinergic interneurons are in some way involved in the glutamate-induced ileal contraction.

It is suggested that monoamines and neuropeptides act in the IML, as in other areas of the central nervous system, as neuromodulators, setting the level of excitability of SPNs rather than relaying sympathetic information over a functionally specific pathway from brain stem sympathetic neurons to the I ML.
