Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors in Epilepsy: A Review Focusing on AMPA and NMDA Receptors
Biomolecules, 2020 It is widely accepted that glutamate-mediated neuronal hyperexcitation plays a causative role in eliciting seizures. Among glutamate receptors, the roles of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA ...

Inhibition of Food Intake by PACAP in the Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nuclei is Mediated by NMDA Receptors [PDF]
, 2014 Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon the PAC1 receptor; however, the signaling downstream of this receptor in the

Hydrocarbon molar water solubility predicts NMDA vs. GABAA receptor modulation. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundMany anesthetics modulate 3-transmembrane (such as NMDA) and 4-transmembrane (such as GABAA) receptors. Clinical and experimental anesthetics exhibiting receptor family specificity often have low water solubility. We hypothesized that the molar

Establishment of an adult zebrafish model of retinal neurodegeneration induced by NMDA [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019 AIM: To establish a model of retinal neurodegeneration induced by N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) in adult zebrafish. METHODS: We compared the effects of three different NMDA delivery methods on retinal neurodegeneration in adult zebrafish: immersion (I.

Nanoscale-targeted patch-clamp recordings of functional presynaptic ion channels [PDF]
, 2013 Important modulatory roles have been attributed to presynaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) located on cerebellar interneuron terminals. Evidence supporting a presynaptic location includes an increase in the frequency of mini events following the application ...

Memory and the NMDA Receptors [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 Ablating mice of Neto1, a component that stabilizes a postsynaptic glutamate receptor, results in a deficit in memory and learning — a deficit ameliorated by administration of a glutamate-receptor stimulant.

Treatment of Cerebral Ischemia Through NMDA Receptors: Metabotropic Signaling and Future Directions
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Excessive activation of N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors after cerebral ischemia is a key cause of ischemic injury. For a long time, it was generally accepted that calcium influx is a necessary condition for ischemic injury mediated by NMDA ...
