The essence of excitation
Curr Opin Cell Biol.

Abstract
The amino acid glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in a range of organisms from Caenorhabditis elegans to mammals, and it mediates the information processing that underlies essentially all behavior. Recent advances in our understanding of glutamate storage and release now illuminate how this ubiquitous amino acid can function as a signalling molecule.
