Opioids are widely used but also frequently misused drugs that affect multiple neurotransmitter systems, including dopaminergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic, serotonergic, and cholinergic pathways. Opioid‐induced neuroadaptations depend on the duration of drug exposure, with distinct changes also emerging following drug discontinuation.

The Effects of Memantine on Prepulse Inhibition [PDF]
Reduced prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle provides evidence of deficient sensorimotor gating in several disorders, including schizophrenia. The role of NMDA neurotransmission in the regulation of PPI is unclear, due to cross-species differences in the

Memantine increases brain production of kynurenic acid via protein kinase A-dependent mechanism
We describe a novel aspect of action of memantine ex vivo, in the brain cortical slices and in vitro, in mixed glial cultures. The drug potently increased the production of kynurenic acid, an endogenous tryptophan metabolite blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate
