MIT researchers discovered a way to treat Fragile X syndrome by targeting NMDA receptors, restoring synaptic balance and ...
There are now ketamine clinics nationwide where the drug is given intravenously to treat depression. Like a lock and key, ketamine binds to the brain via N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.
MIT neuroscientists have made a breakthrough in treating fragile X syndrome by leveraging a novel neurotransmitter signaling ...
To see if a treatment that targets NMDA receptors might be effective in fragile X, they tried an experimental drug called Glyx-13. This drug binds to the 2B subunit of NMDA receptors to augment ...
Ketamine, a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, has emerged as an effective therapeutic agent for the management of treatment-resistant depression. Repeated treatments with ...

News Medical on MSNExploring ketamine's potential in the fight against treatment-resistant depressionMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, with a significant proportion of patients (10-20%) progressing to treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
The purpose of this randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled human laboratory study was to evaluate whether the interactive effects of drugs acting at opiate and NMDA glutamate receptors might ...
New research sheds light on how ketamine affects the brain by targeting a specific NMDA receptor subtype, GluN1-2B-2D.
Researchers identified a rare genetic mutation in two schizophrenia patients that increased schizophrenia-related behaviors ...
Caution with other NMDA antagonists (eg, amantadine, ketamine, dextromethorphan). May affect or be affected by renally-excreted drugs (eg, triamterene, HCTZ, metformin, cimetidine, nicotine ...
