Answer: Glutamate is the primary excitatory amino acid transmitter in the brain and is thought to exert effects via four receptor types (NMDA, AMPA, kainate, metabotropic glutamate receptor). Glutamate may play a role in cognition and in memory. Alcohol is an NMDA receptor antagonist; withdrawal from alcohol can lead to seizures.
