Roles of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors (NMDARs) in Epilepsy [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. The mechanism of epilepsy remains unclear and previous studies suggest that N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play an important role in abnormal ...

Protein quality control of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated cation channels that mediate excitatory neurotransmission and are critical for synaptic development and plasticity in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Functional NMDARs typically form

Case report: Anti N-methyl-D-aspartate autoimmune encephalitis following a mildly symptomatic COVID-19 infection in an adolescent male

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023
BackgroundAntibodies against N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors are the most commonly identified cause of autoimmune encephalitis. While predominantly associated with malignancies, cases of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor autoimmune encephalitis have been

Intracerebroventricular Injection of L-Pipecolic Acid Exerts Hypnotic Effects Without Activating NMDA Receptors in Neonatal Chicks under Social Isolation-induced Stress

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2020
L-Pipecolic acid is an intermediate of L-lysine catabolism. Its central injection exerted a hypnotic effect on the brain, which was partially mediated by the activation of γ-aminobutyric acid-A and γ-aminobutyric acid-B receptors. L-Proline has also been

Amiloride but not memantine reduces neurodegeneration, seizures and myoclonic jerks in rats with cardiac arrest-induced global cerebral hypoxia and reperfusion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
It has been reported that both activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and acid-sensing ion channels during cerebral ischemic insult contributed to brain injury.

Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis

Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2013
Investigators at Universities of Barcelona, Pennsylvania, Oviedo, and Valencia, and the Spanish NMDAR Encephalitis Work Group report the clinical features of 20 pediatric patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis seen in a single center in Spain in the last 4 years.

Pharmacology of triheteromeric N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptors [PDF]

Neuroscience Letters, 2016
The N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors (NMDARs) are heteromeric cation channels involved in learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity, and their dysregulation leads to various neurodegenerative disorders. Recent evidence has shown that apart from the GluN1/GluN2A and GluN1/GluN2B diheteromeric ion channels, the NMDAR also exists as a GluN1/GluN2A/GluN2B ...

Cardiac N-methyl d-aspartate Receptors as a Pharmacological Target [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2016
Abstract: This study focuses on characterization of the cardiac N-methyl d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) as a target for endogenous and synthetic agonists and antagonists. Using isolated perfused rat hearts, we have shown that intracoronary administration of the NMDAR agonists and antagonists has a pronounced effect on autonomous heart ...

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis [PDF]

Cureus, 2019
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA) encephalitis is an underrecognized encephalitis that may be mistaken for a wide variety of mental illnesses and causes of delirium. This syndrome is predominantly present in young females presenting with acute psychotic episodes, autonomic instability, and neurologic abnormalities.

N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptors in Hematopoietic Cells: What Have We Learned?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) provides a pathway for glutamate-mediated inter-cellular communication, best known for its role in the brain but with multiple examples of functionality in non-neuronal cells.
