The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), is a glutamate receptor and predominantly Ca 2+ ion channel found in neurons. [3][4] The NMDA …

Dec 11, 2022 · The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is a glutamate receptor, the human brain's primary excitatory neurotransmitter. It plays an integral role in synaptic plasticity, a …

Nov 24, 2024 · N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ligand-gated cation channels activated by an excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate.

Dupuis et al. discuss recent advances in our understanding of the glutamatergic NMDA receptor, focusing mainly on the dynamics and nanoscale organization of membrane NMDA receptors …

Jul 20, 2025 · N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) is an amino acid derivative, known for the protein it selectively binds to in the brain: the NMDA receptor. This receptor is a protein on the surface …

NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are defined as prominent ligand-gated ion channels that play a crucial role in excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system, and are essential …

Here, we will review the relationship between NMDA receptor structure and function, the diversity and significance of NMDA receptor subtypes in the CNS, as well as principles and rules by …

Jul 19, 2025 · The NMDA receptor is a type of ion channel, a pore in the cell membrane that can open or close to allow charged particles, called ions, to pass through. When it opens, it …

NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are cation-specific ligand-gated ion channels that mediate glutamatergic synaptic transmission throughout the CNS. The NMDARs are localized on …

NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated cation channels with high calcium permeability that play important roles in many aspects of the biology of higher organisms.
