The Influence of Propofol Administration Time on Oxygen Glucose Deprivation-Reperfusion Injury in Rat mixed Cortical Cultures Focused on N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) Receptor
… cascade mainly by overstimulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Propofol have been known to have neuroprotective effects. However, the effect of administration time is not well known with in vitro model. This study was conducted to determine whether the propofol …

EFFECTS OF SIGMA-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS ON COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR AND NEUROPLASTICITY
… include serotonin neurotransmission and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. This study evaluated drugs acting as sigma-1 agonists, NMDA receptor antagonists, and serotonin reuptake inhibitors in preclinical animal behavior models for assessing treatments for obsessive compulsive …

Glutamate regulates neurite outgrowth of descending neurons in culture from larval lamprey
… channels may also contribute. Particularly, N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) application elicited neurite retraction. Glutamate application in the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX) inhibited neurite outgrowth. Interestingly, TTX inhibited neurite growth, suggesting the neurons may be spontaneously …

The medial prefrontal cortex and the dorsomedial striatum are necessary for working memory in rats: role of NMDA receptors
… I used rats to elucidate the contrbutions of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and dorsomedial striatum (dmSTR) using two working memory tasks. The trial unique non-match to location (TUNL) task is a delayed-non-match-to-sample visual working memory task …

Disambiguating the Similar: Investigating Pattern Separation in Medial Temporal Lobe Structures Using Rodent Models
… (BDNF) can improve performance by acting via N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors in the DG and adult-born hippocampal neurons. Manipulating the level of neurogenesis by inhibiting Wnt signalling or by administering acyl-ghrelin systemically is shown to impair and enhance performance …

Role of Cholesterol 24-Hydroxylase in Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation
… 24-hydroxylase have specific defects in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor function, a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptor essential for long-term potentiation. The subunit composition of NMDA receptors located in various functional pools is normal in 24-hydroxylase knockout …

The Structural Mechanism of Allosteric Modulation of The Nmda Receptor: A Balance of Tensions
<p>N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are one of the three main types of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the central nervous system. NMDA receptors mediate the rapid excitatory neurotransmission that underlies learning and memory formation. Conversely, NMDA receptors are implicated in a …

Stress and Hippocampal Plasticity
… to be regulated by adrenal steroid hormones, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activity, psychosocial stress and learning and memory. Repeated restraint stress is known to induce neuroanatomical changes in the hippocampus, such as dendritic remodeling in CA3 neurons and mossy fiber terminal …

Endoplasmic Reticulum Dynamic Structural Changes in Neurons: The Fission-Fusion Phenomena
… show that ER fission is induced during N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated Ca2+ entry to the cell in murine primary cultures and hippocampal slice cultures. Using different pharmacological approaches, we demonstrate, that ER fission is triggered independently on Ca2+ from ER …

A behavioural evaluation of the potential of nNOS inhibitors to control dyskinesia in animal models of Parkinson’s disease
… which can be treated with amantadine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. NMDA receptor activation is linked with nitric oxide (NO) production and changes in synaptic plasticity, suggesting a role in dyskinesia. This led to the hypothesis that NO, produced by neuronal nitric …

The Cross-Talk Between Neurons and Microglia Through Interleukin-4 After Ischemic Injury
… show that mild excitotoxic stress produced by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor (NMDAR) activation (process that normally occurs in the cerebral ischemia) triggers IL-4 production and release by neurons in the primary neuron culture. We also implicated calcineurin and nuclear factor of …

A toxicological analysis of the cyanotoxin β-methylamino-L-alanine at multiple neural levels and identification of novel modes of activity
The cyanotoxin β-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) has long been associated with the elevated incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinsonism dementia complex (ALS/PDC). BMAA has been shown to be produced across the cyanobacterial order and its detection has been reported in a variety of aquatic …

On The Future Of Antidepressant Treatments: Targeting Neurotrophic Factors And Plasticity
… that low doses of ketamine, a glutamatergic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, can provide depressive symptom relief within hours of administration. What is interesting about these findings is that ketamine works on a completely different biological system than typical …

The synthesis and pharmacology of novel excitatory amino acid mimetics
… three types: (i) Quisqualate/glutamate, (ii) N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and (iii) Kainate type. The aim of this project has been to develop specific mimetics which act only at one defined site. In particular, attention has been focused on the two former sub-groups. It has been shown that …

KETAMINE EXPOSURE DURING ADOLESCENCE INCREASES SENSITIVITY TO REWARD-RELATED STIMULI IN ADULTHOOD
… Recently, the non-competitive N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, ketamine, has been shown to alleviate symptoms of MDD in individuals that suffer from treatment-resistant depression. However, little is known about the potential long-term consequences of ketamine …

Nucleus accumbens dopamine and investigatory behavior : modulation by the ventral subiculum of the hippocampus through the dopamine cell bodies of the ventral tegmental area
… injections of the excitatory amino acid analog N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Such injections increased investigatory behavior and elevated dopamine in both the DA terminal region of the NAS and the DA cell body region of the VTA. The elevations in VTA DA reflect dendritically released DA and imply …
