Glutamatergic Synapse

Molecular classification: Cellular structure, Synapse

Overview

A glutamatergic synapse is a specialized junction between neurons where the neurotransmitter glutamate mediates excitatory signaling. These synapses are the primary excitatory connections in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), responsible for most of the brain’s information processing and playing a critical role in learning, memory, and neural development.
