NMDA receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors that mediate excitatory neurotransmission and underpin synaptic plasticity, learning and memory. Their unique voltage-dependent block by magnesium and ...

A new study suggests a potential molecular strategy for treating fragile X syndrome, an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that causes autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. This ...

In a study published in Cell, a research team led by Zhu Shujia from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with Li Yang ...

Drugs that act on NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment consciousness, are key for treating neuropsychiatric disorders. These drugs were ...

The human brain constantly adapts in response to experiences, forming new connections between neurons and reorganizing ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers developed the MK-801 bimodal drug that successfully cures obesity, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia in mouse models of metabolic illness by combining ...

Three distinct snapshots obtained with cryo-electron microscopy illustrate the arrangement of two of the four symmetrical subunits that make a functional NMDA receptor. During activation, as the ...
