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 ...
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have made a fundamental discovery: the NMDA receptor (NMDAR)—long studied primarily for its role in learning and memory—also plays a crucial role in stabilizing ...
A new study reveals a critical vulnerability in a brain receptor targeted by a rare autoimmune disease. Researchers have ...

OHSU researchers identify key trigger behind brain disorder often mistaken for mental illness
Some serious brain disorders begin with symptoms that are easy to misinterpret. A person may become confused, forgetful or paranoid and be treated for mental illness before doctors realize the ...
New OHSU study maps antibody "hot spots" behind anti‑NMDAR encephalitis. Could change diagnosis and treatment.
Aη, or A-eta, made an initial splash when scientists reported that these fragments of amyloid precursor protein—products of a heretofore unknown cleavage—dampen neural activity. But how? The story ...
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 ...
