Noradrenergic and/or serotonergic deficits, as well as other abnormalities, may contribute to
predisposition to some epilepsies and depressions. Evidence for this hypothesis stems from …

Emotional arousal enhances perception and memory of high-priority information but impairs
processing of other information. Here, we propose that, under arousal, local glutamate levels …

Although the biogenic amine models have provided meaningful links between clinical
phenomena and pharmacological management of mood disorders (MDs), the onset of …

Cytosolic calcium ion concentrations ([Ca2+] i) were measured in rat neocortical
synaptosomes using fura‐2, and depolarization of synaptosomal membranes was induced …

The release of [3 H] noradrenaline ([3 H] NA) in superfused rat hippocampal synaptosomes
was increased concentration dependently by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Glycine (1 μM) …

Larval metamorphosis, the planktonic larvae transited into benthic juveniles, is a short
important phase for mollusks. However, information about the mechanism of its larval …

The wide‐ranging neuronal actions of excitatory amino acids, such as glutamate, are
thought to be mediated mainly by postsynaptic N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) and non …

Pretreatment with the non-competitive NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) antagonist MK801
(0.5, 1.0 mg/kg, sc) suppressed the behavioral signs of withdrawal in morphine-dependent …

Sigma (σ) receptors, improperly classified as belonging to the opiate receptor family when
discovered in 1976, were subsequently confused with phencyclidine binding sites for …

The existence of presynaptic, release‐regulating NMDA receptors in the CNS has been long
matter of discussion. Most of the reviews dedicated to support this conclusion have …
