Potassium channel activators protect the N-methyl-D-aspartate-induced cerebral vascular dilation after combined hypoxia and ischemia in piglets [PDF]
, 1998 Background and Purpose-Cerebral arteriolar dilation to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) is a neuronally mediated multistep process that is sensitive to cerebral hypoxia and ischemia (H/I).

Ethanol enhances neurosteroidogenesis in hippocampal pyramidal neurons by paradoxical NMDA receptor activation [PDF]
, 2011 Using an antibody against 5α-reduced neurosteroids, predominantly allopregnanolone, we found that immunostaining in the CA1 region of rat hippocampal slices was confined to pyramidal neurons.

The Dichotomy of NMDA Receptor Signaling [PDF]
The Neuroscientist, 2007 The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors plays a Jekyll and Hyde role in the mammalian central nervous system. In pathological scenarios such as ischemia, Ca2+ influx through the NMDA receptor is a key mediator of cell death.

Why Neurons Have Thousands of Synapses, A Theory of Sequence Memory in Neocortex [PDF]
, 2015 Neocortical neurons have thousands of excitatory synapses. It is a mystery how neurons integrate the input from so many synapses and what kind of large-scale network behavior this enables.

Hippocampal glutamate NMDA receptor loss tracks progression in Alzheimer's disease: quantitative autoradiography in postmortem human brain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Early Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by memory loss and hippocampal atrophy with relative sparing of basal ganglia. Activation of glutamate NMDA receptors in the hippocampus is an important step in memory formation.

BMC Neuroscience, 2007 Background NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartic acid) is a widely known agonist for a class of glutamate receptors, the NMDA type. Synthetic NMDA elicits very strong activity for the induction of hypothalamic factors and hypophyseal hormones in mammals.
