In this study, recently published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, the authors investigated NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors) receptors due to their importance in synaptic transmission and their ...

Catatonia is an experience associated with a person taking a rigid or mute stance. Aspects of catatonia can also include unusual posturing, repetitive movements, repeating speech, and agitation. It is ...

A new study shows that enhancing activity of a specific component of 'NMDA' receptors normalizes protein synthesis, neural activity and seizure susceptibility in the hippocampus of fragile X lab mice.

Ketamine has received a Hollywood makeover. It used to be known as a rave drug (street name special K) and cat anesthetic. However, in recent years, some doctors have prescribed ketamine to treat ...

Building on more than two decades of research, a study by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory reports a new way to ...

This work shows that enhancing the function of the GluN2b subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor signaling pathway can correct key neural dysfunctions in a mouse model of fragile X ...

Vistagen (Nasdaq: VTGN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering neuroscience with nose-to-brain neurocircuitry to develop and commercialize a new class of intranasal product candidates ...

To see if a treatment that targets NMDA receptors might be effective in fragile X, they tried an experimental drug called Glyx-13. This drug binds to the 2B subunit of NMDA receptors to augment ...
