Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) encephalitis is marked by rapidly evolving and severe neuropsychiatric symptoms that can affect any age. This case illustrates a woman in her early 40s who was ...

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 ...

Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...

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 ...

Scientists Identified Alzheimer’s Hidden “Death Switch” and Found a Way to Shut It Down ...

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 ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have reshaped cancer treatment over the past decade, but the same immune activation that shrinks tumors can also turn against healthy tissue, including the brain. A ...

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 ...
