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

Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis
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]
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 ...

The NMDA agonist D-cycloserine facilitates fear memory consolidation in humans [PDF]
Animal research suggests that the consolidation of fear and extinction memories depends on N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA)- type glutamate receptors.

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

The effects of AMPA receptor blockade on resting magnetoencephalography recordings [PDF]
The ionotropic N-methyl-D-aspartate and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors of the glutamatergic neurotransmitter system are of fundamental importance to healthy brain function.

Anti-N-Methyl-d-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis
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,

NR2A- and NR2B-containing NMDA Receptors in the Prelimbic Medial Prefrontal Cortex Differentially Mediate Trace, Delay, and Contextual Fear Conditioning [PDF]
Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) in the prelimbic medial prefrontal cortex (PL mPFC) is necessary for the acquisition of both trace and contextual fear memories, but it is not known how specific NR2 subunits support each association ...
