Mark Mayer
Mark Lee Mayer is scientist
emeritus at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH). His research investigates
glutamate receptor ion channels, the major mediators of
excitatory synapses in the brain. He has made numerous observations that have changed our view of receptor function and
neurotransmission in the brain. Major findings include discovery of the block of NMDA receptors by extracellular Mg and their high Ca permeability; analysis of the permeation and block of Ca permeable AMPA and kainate receptors by cytoplasmic polyamines; and structural studies on ligand binding, allosteric modulation, and gating using X-ray diffraction and cryoelectron microscopy.
