What are the three categories of extracellular ligand-gated channels?
Definition
Purinegic, Cys-loop, Glutamate

Definition
They are ATP activated, excitatory, permeable to sodium and potassium, and cross synapses
Term
What are Cys-loop receptors activated by?
Definition
GABA, glycine, Ach, serotonin
Term
What are the main points about glutamate receptors?
Definition
They are excitatory, and permeable to at least sodium and potassium.
Term
What are the two sub classes of ionotropic glutamate receptors?
Definition
NMDA, AMPA/Kainate
Term
What do cyclic nucleotide gated channels have a role in?
Definition
Sensory perception (ie: olfactory, photoreception)
Term
What is a major difference between AMPA and Kainate receptors?
Definition
AMPA desensitize fast, Kainate desensitize slowly
