Expert Solution

Step 1

AMPA receptors are responsible for the majority of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the CNS, and their modulation is the ultimate mechanism underlying much of the plasticity of excitatory transmission that is expressed in the brain. The full form of AMPA is aminomethylphosphonic acid.
