Researchers at Tel Aviv University have made a fundamental discovery: the NMDA receptor (NMDAR)—long studied primarily for ...

University at Buffalo neuroscientists have identified the binding site of low-dose ketamine, providing critical insight into how the medication, often described as a wonder drug, alleviates symptoms ...

Researchers have discovered that the NMDA receptor (NMDAR), known for its role in learning and memory, also stabilizes brain activity by setting baseline neural network activity.

Blocking NMDA receptor activity abolished LTP-mediated inhibition of LTD, showing that transient activation of NMDA receptors mediates this effect. To investigate the downstream signalling ...

Its precise actions in the brain aren’t well understood, but many of its effects may result from blocking NMDA receptors, stopping them from being activated by the brain chemical glutamate.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have made a fundamental discovery: the NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-;long studied ... I introduced a second perturbation by blocking another receptor. This time, the ...

so the important issue could be achieving a partial block of the NMDA receptors, rather than which receptor subtype is targeted. Certain forms of synaptic plasticity can be influenced by NMDA ...

By setting the “baseline” level for activity in neural networks, the NMDAR helps maintain stable brain function amidst ...

Blocking a protein that imports lactic acid, a metabolic byproduct of cancer cells, reinvigorated exhausted T cells and led to improved tumor control in mouse models of cancer, according to a new ...
