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.

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 ...

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 discharges, nerve conduction, neuron injury and inflammation, thereby they may participate in ...

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
Pediatrics & Neonatology, 2011 Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis is a treatment-responsive encephalitis associated with anti-NMDA receptor antibodies, which bind to the NR1/NR2 heteromers of the NMDA receptors. It is a highly characteristic syndrome evolving in five stages: the prodromal phase (viral infection-like symptoms), psychotic phase, unresponsive phase,

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis [PDF]
Medicine, 2018 Abstract Rationale: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an auto-immune and paraneoplastic encephalitis with prominent neuropsychiatric manifestations. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor is located in the forebrain and hippocampus and plays a role in learning and memory.

Mutations of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Subunits in Epilepsy [PDF]
Neuroscience Bulletin, 2017 Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. Of all cases, 70%-80% are considered to be due to genetic factors. In recent years, a large number of genes have been identified as being involved in epilepsy. Among them, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit-encoding genes represent a large proportion, suggesting an important role for ...

Spermine regulates N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor desensitization
Neuron, 1992 The action of the endogenous polyamine spermine on NMDA-induced responses (in the presence of glycine) was evaluated in cultured spinal cord neurons under voltage- and concentration-clamp conditions. Spermine potentiated NMDA-induced responses in a dose-dependent manner.

Biophysical Journal, 1995 Small volumes of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA excitatory amino acid receptor agonists were applied to localized regions of the dendritic trees of lamprey spinal neurons along their medial-lateral axis to obtain a spatial map of glutamate receptor distribution.

Pediatric anti-N methyl D aspartate receptor encephalitis
Journal of Pediatric Neurosciences, 2013 Anti-N Methyl D Aspartate Receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDARE) is a recently defined disease, which is probably more under-recognized than rare. We report a case of anti-NMDARE in a 13-years-old girl, who presented with intractable seizures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of pediatric anti-NMDARE being reported from India.
