Abstract excerpt
Dysfunction of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type ionotropic glutamate receptors has been implicated in the etiology of schizophrenia based on psychotomimetic properties of the antagonist phencyclidine (PCP) and observation that mice expressing low levels of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor NR1 subunit exhibit behavioral alterations that may be ameliorated by neuroleptic drugs. Based on the hypothesis that some...
