“…In parallel with these electrophysiological studies, AMPAR PAMs were soon shown to enhance learning and memory (Staubli et al, 1994a). Since then, many other structural classes have been described (Ward and Harries, 2010; Pirotte et al, 2010) and their positive effects on cognition in laboratory animals and human patients have been extensively reported and reviewed (Morrow et al, 2006; Arai and Kessler, 2007; O'Neill and Dix, 2007; Cleva et al, 2010; Lynch et al, 2011). The potential site of action of AMPAR PAMs, together with other cognitive enhancing agents that may act at the glutamatergic synapse, is shown schematically in Fig.…”
