Ketamine: NMDA receptors and beyond [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2016 Human studies examining the effects of the dissociative anesthetic ketamine as a model for psychosis and as a rapidly acting antidepressant have spurred great interest in understanding ketamine's actions at molecular, cellular, and network levels ...

NMDA Receptors in Astrocytes [PDF]
Neurochemical Research, 2019 Astrocytes support glutamatergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system through multiple mechanisms which include: (i) glutamate clearance and control over glutamate spillover due to operation of glutamate transporters; (ii) supply of obligatory glutamate precursor glutamine via operation of glutamate-glutamine shuttle; (iii) supply of L ...

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.

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

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2021 Background The cannabinoid CB2 receptor (CB2R), which is a target to afford neuroprotection, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) ionotropic glutamate receptors, which are key in mediating excitatory neurotransmission, are expressed in both neurons and glia ...

BMC Neuroscience, 2008 Background Extrasynaptic NMDA receptors couple to a CREB shut-off pathway and cause cell death, whereas synaptic NMDA receptors and nuclear calcium signaling promote CREB-mediated transcription and neuronal survival.

Tripartite signalling by NMDA receptors [PDF]
Molecular Brain, 2020 AbstractN-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are excitatory glutamatergic receptors that are fundamental for many neuronal processes, including synaptic plasticity. NMDARs are comprised of four subunits derived from heterogeneous subunit families, yielding a complex diversity in NMDAR form and function. The quadruply-liganded state of binding of two

Dynamin-dependent NMDAR endocytosis during LTD and its dependence on synaptic state
BMC Neuroscience, 2005 Background The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor expressed at excitatory glutamatergic synapses is required for learning and memory and is critical for normal brain function.

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2023 Synaptic plasticity is believed to be a key mechanism underlying learning and memory. We developed a phenomenological N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-based voltage-dependent synaptic plasticity model for synaptic modifications at hippocampal CA3-CA1

GABA\u3csub\u3eA\u3c/sub\u3e and excitatory amino acid receptors in dorsomedial hypothalamus and heart rate in rats [PDF]
, 1991 We have previously shown that microinjection of drugs that interfere with the function of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) into the hypothalamus produces cardiorespiratory and behavioral changes resembling those seen in ...
