title: NMDA receptors in sensory information processing.
abstract: During the past year electrophysiological studies, particularly in the visual and somatosensory systems, have begun to uncover the specific roles played by NMDA receptors in the processing of sensory information. Many of the features of NMDA-receptor-mediated sensory responses reflect known properties of the receptor.
