Molecular pharmacological characterisation of recombinant and native NR2B- and NR3B- containing NMDA receptors [PDF]
NMDA receptors are ionotropic, glutamate receptors which mediate fast excitatory transmissions within the central nervous system. They form tetrameric or pentameric heterologous complexes from seven NMDA receptor subunits NRl, NR2A-D and NR3A-B which ...

The NMDA receptor (NMDAR) produces a long-lasting component of the glutamatergic EPSC in mammalian central neurons. The current through NMDARs is voltage dependent as a result of block by extracellular magnesium, which has recently been shown to give ...

DMV extrasynaptic NMDA receptors regulate caloric intake in rats
Acute high-fat diet (aHFD) exposure induces a brief period of hyperphagia before caloric balance is restored. Previous studies have demonstrated that this period of regulation is associated with activation of synaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA ...

NMDA receptor function during senescence: implication on cognitive performance
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, a family of L-glutamate receptors, play an important role in learning and memory, and are critical for spatial memory. These receptors are tetrameric ion channels composed of a family of related subunits. One of the

Polymodal regulation of NMDA receptor channels
Glutamate-activated N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ligand-gated ion channels which mediate synaptic transmission, long-term potentiation, synaptic plasticity and neurodegeneration via conditional Ca2+ signalling.

Integrated Regulation of Signal Coding and Plasticity by NMDA Receptors at a Central Synapse
The role of NMDA and non-NMDA glutamate receptors in long-term potentiation has been intensely investigated, yet recent evidence on the dynamics of synaptic depolarization suggests that the original view should be extended.

LRFN2 encodes a synaptic adhesion-like molecule that physically interacts with N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor 1 and its scaffold proteins. Previous studies in humans and mice have demonstrated its genetic association with neurodevelopmental ...
