Difference between Chemical synapse and Ionotropic glutamate receptor

Chemical synapse vs. Ionotropic glutamate receptor

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that are activated by the neurotransmitter glutamate.

Similarities between Chemical synapse and Ionotropic glutamate receptor

Chemical synapse and Ionotropic glutamate receptor have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Central nervous system, Ligand-gated ion channel, Neurotransmitter, Synaptic plasticity.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Ligand-gated ion channel

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Synaptic plasticity

In neuroscience, synaptic plasticity is the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity.
