Scientists have identified a promising target for treatment of a devastating autoimmune disease affecting the brain.
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 ...
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. These drugs were ...
Some serious brain disorders begin with symptoms that are easy to misinterpret. A person may become confused, forgetful or ...
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. These drugs were ...
A research team has identified a molecular mechanism that coordinates the operation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor, which is key to regulating excitatory synapse function in 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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
