Abstract excerpt
N-methyl d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR1 knockdown (NR1-KD) mice have a global reduction of NMDA receptors, enabling their use as a genetic model to study the role of NMDA receptors in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This targeted mutation results in a spectrum of altered behaviors that are similar to those induced by NMDA receptor antagonists, which have long been used to model schizophrenia in...
