A second issue is the nature of the NMDA receptor (the glutamate receptor that is thought to be involved in the neurodegenerative aspects of glutamate pathophysiology) itself. A feature of the NMDA ...

The glutamate-induced excitotoxicity pathway has been reported in several neurodegenerative diseases. Molecules that inhibit the release of glutamate or cause the overactivation of glutamate receptors ...

Scientists at Purdue University say they have built a small, flexible sensor that is faster and more precise than past attempts at tracking glutamate. The sensor, an implantable device on the spinal ...

Drought and deluges are rarely good. In the brain, too little oxygen or too much of the neurotransmitter glutamate are both bad news. But there is a potential savior. The enzyme nicotinamide ...

To study neurological diseases, a major limitation is the ability to culture, observe, and study neuronal cells that accurately characterize human phenotypes neurological disorders. A new approach has ...

Stem cell scientists from the University of Southern California (USC) and elsewhere have found a way to potentially clear out the buildup of tau protein in the brain, which is associated with the ...

In the intricate chemical symphony of the brain, glutamate stands as the principal conductor. As the brain's most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate facilitates our ability to learn, form ...

Glutamate, a key neurotransmitter involved in brain function, plays a crucial role in processes such as mood regulation and memory formation. However, research has also linked glutamate to the toxic ...
