  • Understanding the effect on receptors helps inform our understanding of how the antibodies cause the condition, and may help improve treatments in the future. (ox.ac.uk)
Neurotoxicity1
  • Evidence indicates that iron accumulation participates in NMDA neurotoxicity. (iasp-pain.org)
Functional1
  • A shortage of this protein may reduce the number of functional NMDA receptors, which would reduce receptor activity in cells. (medlineplus.gov)
Ligand1
  • Disease-associated missense mutations in GluN2B subunit alter NMDA receptor ligand binding and ion channel properties. (medlineplus.gov)
Excitatory postsynapt1
Downstream1
  • Therefore, even more targeted downstream mediators of NMDA-Rs and nNOS should be taken into account. (researchdataservice.com)
Activity8
  • Activity of the NMDA receptor is blocked by many psychoactive drugs such as phencyclidine (PCP), alcohol (ethanol) and dextromethorphan (DXM). (wikipedia.org)
  • The anaesthetic and analgesic effects of the drugs ketamine and nitrous oxide are also partially due to their effects at blocking NMDA receptor activity. (wikipedia.org)
  • Metabolic labeling experiments in whole cells showed that NMDA receptor overactivation does not modify the activity of phosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferases but strongly inhibits choline-ethanolamine phosphotransferase activity. (jneurosci.org)
  • Moreover, cholinephosphotransferase activity was lower in microsomes from NMDA-treated cells. (jneurosci.org)
  • At excessive rates of NMDA activity, thoughts and the rate at which new thoughts are generated (ideation) is slowed. (nrxpharma.com)
  • Much of the above was considered purely theoretical, based on observation of human and animal behavior but without direct biologic correlation until 2019 when Professor Connor Liston published a groundbreaking paper in Science , demonstrating the atrophy of dendritic spines on brain cells in the presence of high levels of NMDA activity. (nrxpharma.com)
  • ZL006 attenuated neurological deficits in ischemic heart stroke versions without inhibiting NMDA-R function, catalytic activity of nNOS, or spatial memory space [27]. (researchdataservice.com)
  • Researchers are unsure how abnormal activity of NMDA receptors prevents normal growth and development of the brain or why too much or too little activity lead to similar neurological problems in people with GRIN2B -related neurodevelopmental disorder. (medlineplus.gov)
Spatial2
  • Recent studies with genetically modified mice have shown that NR1 NMDA receptor subunit deletion, specifically from the granule cells of the dentate gyrus, not only impairs short-term spatial memory but also reduces anxiety. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Here, we examined glutamate receptor influences underlying persistent firing in primate dlPFC during a spatial working memory task. (nyu.edu)
Abnormal1
  • Thus, in light of pathophysiological implications within the central nervous system of morphine-treated offspring during early life, the present study may provide important insights and serve as a basis for therapeutic intervention in conditions under which NMDA receptors become abnormal. (tmu.edu.tw)
Contrast1
  • In contrast, NMDA strongly reduced the incorporation of [ 3 H]choline and [ 3 H]ethanolamine into their respective phospholipids. (jneurosci.org)
