Abstract excerpt
N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated cation channels that are expressed throughout the brain and play essential role in brain functioning. Diversity of the subunits and of their spatio-temporal expression imparts distinct functional properties for the particular NMDAR in a particular brain region and developmental stage. Mutations in NMDARs may have pathological consequences and actually...
