For decades, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors have been known to play a critical role in the modulation of both acute and chronic pain. Of particular interest are NMDA receptors expressed in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH) of the spinal cord ...

Crosstalk Between Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor And N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Signaling In Neurons [PDF]
Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in brain exerting prosurvival effect on neurons via N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signaling under physiological conditions.

Cyclisation of Cell Penetrating PDZ-Binding Peptides Directed to PSD95 [PDF]
Excitatory glutamatergic neurotransmission via N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is critical for synaptic plasticity and survival of neurons. Excessive NMDAR activity, however can cause excitotoxicity and promote cell death, underlying a potential ...

Two Adjacent Phenylalanines In the NMDA Receptor GluN2A Subunit M3 Domain Interactively Regulate Alcohol Sensitivity and Ion Channel Gating [PDF]
The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a key target of ethanol action in the central nervous system. Alcohol inhibition of NMDA receptor function involves small clusters of residues in the third and fourth membrane-associated (M) domains.

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 ...

Quantification of the novel N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor ligand [11C]GMOM in man [PDF]
[11C]GMOM (carbon-11 labeled N-(2-chloro-5-thiomethylphenyl)-N0-(3-[11C]methoxy-phenyl)-N0-methylguanidine) is a PET ligand that binds to the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor with high specificity and affinity.

Acute and chronic excitotoxicity in ischemic stroke and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease
Stroke 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.
