🧠 NMDA vs AMPA Receptors | Differences Explained Simply
What is the difference between NMDA and AMPA receptors? In this video, we clearly explain the two major glutamate receptors involved in excitatory synaptic transmission, learning, and memory.
You’ll learn:
NMDA vs AMPA receptor structure and function
Why NMDA receptors are voltage- and ligand-gated
Role of Mg²⁺ block and Ca²⁺ influx
How AMPA receptors generate fast EPSPs
NMDA and AMPA receptors in long-term potentiation (LTP)
Clinical relevance: ketamine, memantine, excitotoxicity, and disease
This video is perfect for medical students, neuroscience students, and exam aspirants preparing for USMLE, NEET PG, FMGE, and CSIR-NET Life Sciences.
📌 Designed for quick revision, conceptual clarity, and exam-oriented learning.
For Notes, flashcards, daily quizzes, and practice questions follow
