N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ligand-gated cation channels activated by glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter. These receptors are located mostly at excitatory synapses and ...
This information is critical to understanding not only how best to use ketamine, but also to developing similar drugs. Ketamine binds to a class of neurotransmitter receptors called ...
Now ketamine, a glutamatergic NMDA receptor antagonist, may provide a mechanism that could link these pathways. Figure 1: A schematic of how ketamine may lead to an overall excitation in the cortex.
The team analyzed samples from human postmortem brains, including healthy individuals and patients at various stages of neurodegeneration. The results show a distinct distribution of NMDA ...
Although they produce opposite effects on synaptic excitability, both LTP and LTD can occur at the same synapse in response to different patterns of activation of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate ...
The Nagaland Medical Dealers Association (NMDA) has joined the All India Organization of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) in raising concerns over a controversial partnership between Swiggy Instamart ...
