The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and central amygdala (CeA) are parts of the extended amygdala, a complex that plays a key role in drug abuse and dependence. Our previous studies showed that opiates and ethanol alter glutamatergic transmission in these regions. Nmethyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are k

Channel properties and synaptic targeting of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors determine their importance in synaptic transmission, long-term synaptic plasticity, and developmental reorganization of synaptic circuits. To investigate the involvement of the C-terminal domain of the NR2B subunit in
Manganese is one of the ubiquitous environmental pollutants that can induce an indirect excitotoxicity caused by altered glutamate (Glu) metabolism. The present study has been carried out to investigate the effect of Mn on the expression of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NR) subunit mRNAs and protei
The behavioral changes associated with seizures induced by auditory stimulation in magnesium (Mg)-deficient rats originate in deep brain structures and secondarily project to neocortex. In the present study, we examined the roles of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in this seizure model. The in
