When it comes to brain proteins, small changes can make a dramatic difference. Researchers studying NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment ...
Researchers at Zhejiang University, China, have explored mechanisms for the sustained antidepressant effects of ketamine, suggesting that a direct N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) blockade might ...
Neurons generated from stem cells (from skin fibroblasts) of a patient with sporadic Alzheimer’s disease. Visualized with a specific green fluorescent marker. Nuclei are shown in blue. Researchers ...
Researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), who are also part of the ...
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 ...
