Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

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 ...

An Atlanta teenager and Clark Atlanta University student is getting a chance to get her life back together after a terrifying ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tests for paraneoplastic and voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies were negative, but antibodies to N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) were identified in serum and CSF (Figure 2).

One main class of these drugs, which includes propofol and the ether-derivative sevoflurane, work primarily by increasing the activity of inhibitory GABAA receptors, while a second class that includes ...

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 ...

Vistagen’s neuroscience pipeline also includes an oral prodrug with potential to impact certain neurological conditions involving the NMDA receptor. Vistagen is passionate about developing ...

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 ...
