Glutamate levels literally decide whether a neuron or connections survives or dies: To support this, studies indicate that the blockade of NMDAR function leads to neuronal apoptosis and degeneration Apoptosis is cell-programmed death
These damages may propagate over time and predispose the structure to failure under continuous loading

It works on three different receptors
