1. Does mismatch negativity have utility for NMDA receptor drug development in depression?
Rapid antidepressant effects associated with ketamine have shifted the landscape for the development of therapeutics to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) from a monoaminergic to glutamatergic model. Treatment with ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, may be effective, but has many non-glutamatergic targets, and clinical and logis

2. Potential antidepressant effect of amantadine: a review of preclinical studies and clinical trials
Objective: Amantadine blocks N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and has dopaminergic and noradrenergic action, a neurochemical profile that suggests its potential as an antidepressant drug. We conducted a systematic review of preclinical and clinical studies addressing the effects of amantadine in animal models of depression and in patients with depressi

3. In silico analysis of binding interaction of conantokins with NMDA receptors for potential therapeutic use in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Background The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are glutamate receptors that play vital roles in central nervous system development and are involved in synaptic plasticity, which is an essential process for learning and memory. The subunit N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B (NR2B) is the chief excitatory neurotransmitter receptor in the

4. Role of nitric oxide in the periaqueductal gray in defensive behavior in mice: influence of prior local N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation and aversive condition
Glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation within the dorsal column of the periaqueductal gray (dPAG) leads to antinociceptive, autonomic, and behavioral responses characterized as the fear reaction. Activation of NMDA receptors in the brain increases nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, and NO has been proposed to be a mediator of the aversive action

5. Increased training prevents the impairing effect of intra-amygdala infusion of the non-NMDA receptor antagonist CNQX on inhibitory avoidance expression
Intra-amygdala infusion of the non-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) prior to testing impairs inhibitory avoidance retention test performance. Increased training attenuates the impairing effects of amygdala lesions and intra-amygdala infusions of CNQX. The objective of the present study was to determi

6. NMDA receptor blockade alters the intracellular distribution of neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the superficial layers of the rat superior colliculus
Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecular messenger involved in several events of synaptic plasticity in the central nervous system. Ca2+ influx through the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) triggers the synthesis of NO by activating the enzyme neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in postsynaptic densities. Therefore, NMDAR and nNOS are part of the intricate sce

7. POLIAMINERGIC AGENTS MODULATE CONTEXTUAL FEAR EXTINCTION IN RATS / AGENTES POLIAMINÉRGICOS MODULAM A EXTINÇÃO DO MEDO CONDICIONADO CONTEXTUAL EM RATOS
Polyamines, such as spermidine and spermine, have been reported to improve memory retention through the activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAr). However whether polyamine agonists and antagonists alter extinction remains unclear. In the current study, we investigated whether spermidine and polyamine antagonists that selectively block the NR2B su

8. Expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the hippocampal formation in affective disorders
Hippocampal output is increased in affective disorders and is mediated by increased glutamatergic input via N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and moderated by antidepressant treatment. Activation of NMDA receptors by glutamate evokes the release of nitric oxide (NO) by the activation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). The human hippocampus contains

9. SYSTEMIC ADMINISTRATION OF POLYAMINERGIC AGENTS MODULATE FEAR CONDITIONING IN RATS. / ADMINISTRAÇÃO SISTÊMICA DE AGENTES POLIAMINÉRGICOS MODULA A MEMÓRIA NA TAREFA DE MEDO CONDICIONADO EM RATOS
The polyamines, spermine, spermidine and putrescine, are a group of aliphatic amines that interact with diverse cellular targets such as nucleic acids and proteins. The polyamines may act as physiological modulators of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. The processes mediated by NMDA receptor include synaptic plasticity and formation of neural circuitry

10. Electrophysiological evidence for the presence of NR2C subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in rat neurons of the nucleus tractus solitarius
The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) plays an important role in the control of autonomic reflex functions. Glutamate, acting on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA ionotropic receptors, is the major neurotransmitter in this nucleus, and the relative contribution of each receptor to signal transmission is unclear. We have examined NMDA excitatory postsyn

11. Retrieval of the aversive memory : participation of NMDA receptor and examination of Zenk expression in the hippocampus of pigeons / Evocação da memoria aversiva : participação do receptor NMDA e analise da ativação de Zenk no hipocampo de pombos
The present study investigated the effects of the antagonist of the glutamate NMDA receptor, MK- 801, in the activation of zenk in the hippocampus of pigeons (Hp) submitted to the classical aversive conditioning. Two groups of pigeons received MK-801 (MKG, n=6) or saline (SG, n=6) 30 min before training with tone-shock associations. The control groups receiv

12. EFEITO DA ADMINISTRAÇÃO AGUDA DE CREATINA SOBRE A MEMÓRIA EM RATOS / EFFECT OF THE SYSTEMIC INJECTION OF CREATINE ON THE MEMORY OF RATS
Glucose is the most important energy substrate for the central nervous system. Besides its energetic function, glucose facilitates memory in experimental animals, an effect that has been related to its energy functions. Other important cerebral energy substrate is creatine, which is endogenously synthesized and converted to phosphocreatine, an immediate and
