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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
