Abstract excerpt
Several pieces of evidence showed that N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor-mediated decreases in function may be a causative factor for schizophrenia. The NMDA receptors are composed of a common glutamate receptor, an ionotropic NMDA 1 (GRIN1) subunit and one of four GRIN2 subunits (GRIN2A-GRIN2D), combined in an undetermined ratio to make up the receptor complex. In this study, we tested the hypothesis of...
