Abstract: The neurotransmitter glutamate binds to the NMDA and AMPA receptors, which have distinct functions and are also thought to differ in their requirement for glutamate. Whereas AMPA receptors may not necessarily be saturated by a single glutamate release event, saturation of NMDA receptors is predicted to be almost complete. But new data indicate that NMDA receptors are, in fact, far from saturated by a single release event.
