Schematic of a central nervous system excitatory synapse showing the proteins in the postsynaptic terminal organised into multi protein complexes assembled with glutamate receptors (AMPA-RC (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoiepropionic acid receptor complex), NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate and mGluR (metabotropic glutamate 5 receptor complex) receptors shown).
