Costanza Angelini, Alessandro Morellato, Annalisa Alfieri, Lisa Pavinato, Tiziana Cravero, et al. (see pages [7183–7200][1]) The postsynaptic density (PSD) of excitatory synapses contains an extraordinary number proteins, including AMPA and NMDA receptors, accessory proteins that regulate

introduction: zinc is an essential trace element that plays an important role in synaptic plasticity and modulating the activity of cns and involve in learning and memory. synaptic vesicle zinc in the hippocampus area exerting modulatory effects on nmda glutamate receptor. method: in this experiment the effects of nmda agonist and antagonist administration intra hippocampus on passive avoidance...

background: learning and memory are the most intensively studied subjects in neuroscience. two sites of mammalian brain which are important in learning and memory are ca1 region of hippocampus and purkinje cell layer of cerebellum. so, the aim of present investigation was to study of the effect of ovariectomy and passive avoidance learning on nr1 subunit of n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptor ...

introduction: in this study, we investigated the role of n-methyl-d-aspartate (nmda) receptors in the ventral hippocampus (vh) and their possible interactions with gabaa system on anxiety-like behaviors. methods: we used an elevated-plus maze test (epm) to assess anxiety-like behaviors and locomotor activity in male wistar rats. results: the results showed that intra-vh infusions of different d...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Developmental switches in NMDA receptor subunit expression have been inferred from studies of GluN2 expression levels, changes in kinetics of glutamatergic synaptic currents and sensitivity of NMDA receptor-mediated currents to selective GluN2B antagonists. Here we use TCN 213, a novel GluN2A-selective antagonist to identify the presence of this subunit in functional NMDA...

محاسبه دز جذبی در اندام انسان یکی از اولین گام‌­ها برای توسعه رادیوداروهای جدید است. هدف این مطالعه تخمین توسط ترکیب نوین نشاندار Cu-NODAGA-RGD-BBN64 بدین‌منظور ابتدا با تغییر پارامترهای مؤثر بر نشاندارسازی شرایط بهینه تهیه شد. پایداری پپتید هترودیمر بافر سالین فسفات (PBS) و سرم خون انسانی به مدت 12 ساعت ارزیابی پس آن، توزیع زیستی کمپلکس موش‌های حامل تومور تزریق مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. نهایت، اسا...

Mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim)-dependent Ca2+ uptake plays a central role in neurodegeneration after NMDA receptor activation. NMDA-induced DeltaPsim dissipation increases during postnatal development, coincident with increasing vulnerability to NMDA. NMDA receptor activation also produces nitric oxide (NO), which can inhibit mitochondrial respiration, dissipating DeltaPsim. Becau...
