... Regulated Synaptic Targeting of AMPA Receptors Although AMPA receptors also are concentrated at postsynaptic sites of excitatory synapses, the synaptic levels of AMPA receptors are much more heterogeneous than those of NMDA receptors. Some excitatory synapses contain NMDA receptors but not AMPA receptors, especially early in development (5-7~.
