NMDA receptor. NMDA receptors (NMDAR), glutamate receptors are the predominant molecular device for synaptic plasticity and to control the memory function.
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. Electromagnets usually consist of a large number of closely spaced turns of wire that create the magnetic field.
Iron filings (right) align along the magnetic field lines of a cylindrical neodymium magnet. To understand the answers to these questions, it helps to have a basic definition of a magnet. Magnets are objects that produce magnetic fields and attract metals like iron, nickel and cobalt. The magnetic field's lines of force exit the magnet from its north pole and enter its south pole. Permanent or hard magnets create their own magnetic field all the time.
