In this study, recently published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, the authors investigated NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors) receptors due to their importance in synaptic transmission and their ...

Researchers at Bexson Biomedical Inc. and Saint Joseph’s University have synthesized NMDA receptor antagonists reported to be useful for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Our brain requires a constant supply of energy. A disrupted energy supply, as, for instance, caused by a stroke, can have ...

Another earlier memantine trial – the Benefit and Efficacy in Severely Demented patients during Treatment with Memantine (M-Best or 9403) study – enrolled participants with moderately severe ...

Roche has entered into an agreement with Evotec to fund the Phase II clinical development of a selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, EVT 101, for patients with treatment ...

To see if a treatment that targets NMDA receptors might be effective in fragile X, they tried an experimental drug called ...

It is the first and only oral NMDA receptor antagonist to be approved for this use, and the first oral therapy with a new mechanism of action in around 60 years, said Axsome. NMDA antagonist ...

A new study shows that when energy is depleted—such as during a stroke—neurons begin releasing glutamate in abnormal, self-amplifying bursts that can damage nerve cells.

NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors (NMDARs) are the most important known trigger for long-term synaptic plasticity. They also show considerable mobility within the membrane and between ...
