Glutamate neurocircuitry: theoretical underpinnings in schizophrenia
The Dopamine Hypothesis of Schizophrenia is actively being challenged by the NMDA Receptor Hypofunctioning Hypothesis of Schizophrenia. The latter hypothesis may actually be the starting point in neuronal pathways that ultimately modifies dopamine ...

Biological Sources of Inflexibility in Brain and Behavior with Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Almost unequivocally, aging and neurodegeneration lead to deficits in neural information processing. These declines are marked by increased neural noise that is associated with increased variability or inconsistency in behavioral patterns.

Surface grafting of poly (L-glutamates). 1. Synthesis and characterization
The ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCA) of γ-benzyl l-glutamate and γ-methyl l-glutamate from (γ-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APS) pretreated substrates such as silicon wafers and quartz slides was investigated.

A role for oxytocin in the etiology and treatment of schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic debilitating neuropsychiatric disorder estimated to affect 51 million people worldwide. Several symptom domains characterize schizophrenia, including negative symptoms, such as social withdrawal and anhedonia, cognitive ...

Surface grafting of poly(L-glutamates). 2. Helix orientation
In this paper the average helix orientation of surface-grafted poly(γ-benzyl l-glutamate) (PBLG), poly(γ-methyl l-glutamate) (PMLG), and poly(γ-methyl l-glutamate)-co-(γ-n-stearyl l-glutamate) (PMLGSLG 70/30) was investigated by means of FT-IR ...

QM/MM study of the stereospecific proton exchange of glutathiohydroxyacetone by glyoxalase I
We have performed quantum mechanics (QM), molecular mechanics (MM) and hybrid QM/MM calculations to study the stereospecific proton exchange of glutathiohydroxyacetone (HOC-SG) by glyoxalase I (GlxI). We did the QM/MM calculations with a large QM system (

Magnetic resonance imaging in studying schizophrenia, negative symptoms and the glutamate system
Schizophrenia is characterized by positive, negative and cognitive symptoms. While positive symptoms occur periodically during psychotic exacerbations, negative and cognitive symptoms often emerge before the first psychotic episode and persist with low ...

What does the mediodorsal thalamus do?
Dense amnesia can result from damage to the medial diencephalon in humans and in animals. In humans this damage is diffuse and can include the mediodorsal nuclei of the thalamus.
