Glutamate is an important regulator of dendrite development that may inhibit, (during ischemic injury), or facilitate (during early development) dendrite growth. Previous studies have reported mainly on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated dendrite growth-promoting effect of glutamate. In this study, we
