Ketamine: NMDA receptors and beyond [PDF]
Human studies examining the effects of the dissociative anesthetic ketamine as a model for psychosis and as a rapidly acting antidepressant have spurred great interest in understanding ketamine's actions at molecular, cellular, and network levels ...

Cellular prion protein protects from inflammatory and neuropathic pain [PDF]
Cellular prion protein (PrPC) inhibits N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Since NMDA receptors play an important role in the transmission of pain signals in the dorsal horn of spinal cord, we thus wanted to determine if PrPC null mice show a reduced ...

Neuron-derived D-Serine Release Provides a Novel Means to Activate N-Methyl-D-aspartate Receptors*
d-Serine is a coagonist of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors that occurs at high levels in the brain. Biosynthesis of d-serine is carried out by serine racemase, which converts l-to d-serine.

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors play important roles in acquisition and expression of the eyeblink conditioned response in glutamate receptor subunit delta2 mutant mice. [PDF]
Classical eyeblink conditioning has been known to depend critically on the cerebellum. Apparently consistent with this, glutamate receptor subunit delta2 null mutant mice, which have serious morphological and functional deficiencies in the cerebellar ...

N-methyl-d-aspartate-receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate receptors critical for synaptic transmission, plasticity, and cognition. Here, the authors look at four neurodevelopmental disease-related mutations of NMDAR, gaining insight into binding of Mg2+ and ...

Background The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are glutamate receptors that play vital roles in central nervous system development and are involved in synaptic plasticity, which is an essential process for learning and memory.

Candidate glutamatergic and dopaminergic pathway gene variants do not influence Huntington’s disease motor onset [PDF]
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor, cognitive, and behavioral disturbances. It is caused by the expansion of the HTT CAG repeat, which is the major determinant of age at onset (AO) of motor symptoms. Aberrant

Structural basis of subtype-selective competitive antagonism for GluN2C/2D-containing NMDA receptors
Selectively inhibiting N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) containing the GluN2C/2D subunits has been challenging. Here, using electrophysiology and X-ray crystallography, authors show that compounds UBP791 and UBP1700 show over 40- and 50-fold ...

Mutations of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Subunits in Epilepsy [PDF]
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 ...
