The Glutamatergic Synapse

In the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), glutamate is the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter. It is estimated that more than half of all synapses release glutamate and that almost all excitatory neurons in the CNS are glutamatergic.

Presynaptic cGMP sets synaptic strength in the striatum and is important for motor learning
