  text: This volume provides an overview of glutamate receptors and their role in
    excitatory neurotransmission. It focusses on three aspects. First, it describes
    the functional, molecular, and pharmacological properties of glutamate receptors
    (AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors). Second, it gives a survey how these receptors
    are involved in synaptic transmission at different glutamatergic synapses in the
    mammalian CNS. Finally, it adresses how overactivation of glutamate receptors
    can lead to excitotoxic cell death, and emphasizes the importance of glutamate
    receptors as potential therapeutical targets. The chapters, written by leading
    scientists, give accurate summaries of facets that have emerged recently in this
    field. The book demonstrates the strength of a multidisciplinary approach involving
    physiology, pharmacology, and molecular biology. It will be useful for other scientists
    in and outside the field, lecturers and students at different educational levels.
