Antibodies to the NMDAR 1 glutamate receptor subunit and the GluR 1 and GluR2 / 3 subunits of the AMPA glutamate receptor were used to localize these receptor components in the basolateral amygdala ( ABL ) of the rat and monkey . ^^^ This differential localization of receptor subunits suggests that glutamate receptors will exhibit specific functional properties in distinct subpopulations of ABL neurons . . ^^^ |
