Glutamate receptors, including AMPA and NMDA subtypes, are pivotal mediators of excitatory transmission and plasticity across the mammalian central nervous system. Their regulation, which involves ...

This discovery is important because it suggests a safer way to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Instead of trying to reduce essential brain chemicals, future treatments could focus on enhancing the brain’s ...

Glutamate transporters pump glutamate from the synaptic cleft back into brain cells after its release during neurotransmission. A new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has found that free ...

LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 4, 2021) -- University of Kentucky Department of Neuroscience Professor Greg Gerhardt, Ph.D., hypothesizes that the balance of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) -- two ...

Neurotransmitters are the words our brain cells use to communicate with one another. For years, researchers relied on tools that provided limited temporal and spatial resolution to track changes in ...

February 4, 2010 — The makers of a new dopaminergic stabilizer released top-line phase 3 results suggesting that pridopidine improves motor function in Huntington's disease. The positive results of ...

In the intricate chemical symphony of the brain, glutamate stands as the principal conductor. As the brain's most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate facilitates our ability to learn, form ...

Unlike the clear physical markers of muscular fatigue, the weary mind lacks a visible byproduct like lactic acid. This ...
