Ketamine: NMDA Receptors and Beyond.
Human studies examining the effects of the dissociative anesthetic ketamine as a model for psychosis and as a rapidly acting antidepressant have spurred great interest in understanding ketamine's actions at molecular, cellular, and network levels. Although ketamine has unequivocal uncompetitive inhibitory effects on N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) and may preferentially alter the functi...
متن کاملNMDA receptors and memory encoding.
It is humbling to think that 30 years have passed since the paper by Collingridge, Kehl and McLennan showing that one of Jeff Watkins most interesting compounds, R-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoate (d-AP5), blocked the induction of long-term potentiation in vitro at synapses from area CA3 of the hippocampus to CA1 without apparent effect on baseline synaptic transmission (Collingridge et al., 1983)...
متن کاملNMDA receptors are movin' in.
Dynamic modulation of the number of postsynaptic glutamate receptors is considered one of the main mechanisms for altering the strength of excitatory synapses in the central nervous system (CNS). However, until recently N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors were considered relatively stable once in the plasma membrane, especially in comparison with alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole pro...
متن کاملPresynaptic NMDA receptors: are they dendritic receptors in disguise?
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor plays an essential role in excitatory transmission, synaptic integration, and learning and memory. In the classical view, postsynaptic NMDA receptors act as canonical coincidence detectors providing a 'molecular switch' for the induction of various forms of short- and long-term synaptic plasticity. Over the past twenty years there has been accumulating e...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte NMDA receptors: a novel therapeutic target.
Excessive glutamate signaling can lead to excitotoxicity, a phenomenon whereby over-activation of glutamate receptors initiates neuronal death. In recent years, it has been shown that glutamate can be toxic to white-matter oligodendrocytes. Up to recently, the prevailing view was that oligodendrocyte excitotoxicity is mediated by alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) a...
