Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Glutamate signalling through the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is of critical importance for normal central nervous system (CNS) function, as indicated by the marked behavioural disturbances produced by non-subtype selective NMDA antagonists such as dizocilpine (MK-801). OBJECTIVE: The present studies were designed to investigate the involvement of the two major NMDA receptor subunits in the...
