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 ...
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 ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. – 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.
Scientists at Shanghai Tech University have used the scaffold-hopping artificial intelligence model Geminimol to identify N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor ligands that show selectivity and ...
Most neurons that die in Alzheimer’s disease do not simply starve or get smothered by amyloid plaques. According to a study ...
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 ...
LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arialys Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering new precision medicines for autoimmune neuropsychiatric diseases, today announced the ...
The links between neurons are crucial to the brain, and brain cells can reorganize the way they are linked together in a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. This process is ongoing during a lifetime, ...
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 ...
