Acute and chronic excitotoxicity in ischemic stroke and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Neural Regeneration ResearchStroke and Alzheimer’s disease are common neurological disorders and often occur in the same individuals. The comorbidity of the two neurological disorders represents a grave health threat to older populations.

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,

Spatial and temporal boundaries of NMDA receptor hypofunction leading to schizophrenia
npj Schizophrenia, 2017 The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor hypofunction is one of the most prevalent models of schizophrenia. For example, healthy subjects treated with uncompetitive N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonists elicit positive, negative, and cognitive-like symptoms

Uses of magnesium sulfate in anesthesiology
Revista Médica del Hospital General de México, 2022 Introduction: Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4 7H2O) is a divalent cation, pharmacologically its mechanism has been as a reversible blocker of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) and therefore has been proposed in the use of anesthesiology ...

Research progress of N⁃methyl⁃D⁃aspartate receptor GRIN2A gene variations and epilepsy
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2023 In recent years, with the rapid development of gene sequencing technology, a variety of epilepsy pathogenic genes have been discovered, among which GRIN2A gene variations encoding the neurotransmitter N⁃methyl⁃D⁃aspartate receptor (NMDAR) are closely ...

Long-term potentiation and the role of N -methyl- d -aspartate receptors [PDF]
Brain Research, 2015 N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are known for their role in the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP). Here we start by reviewing the early evidence for their role in LTP at CA1 synapses in the hippocampus. We then discuss more recent evidence that NMDAR dependent synaptic plasticity at these synapses can be separated into mechanistically ...

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor plasticity in kindling: quantitative and qualitative alterations in the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-channel complex. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1989 Kindling is an animal model of epilepsy and neuronal plasticity produced by periodic electrical stimulation of the brain. Electrophysiologic studies indicate that this phenomenon is associated with increased participation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in excitatory synaptic transmission. Biochemical studies suggest that a change intrinsic to
