It has been proposed that dopamine and glutamate affect basal ganglia output, in part, through interactions between D1 receptors and NMDA receptors. The present study examined whether N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists affect the neurophysiological responses of substantia nigra pars co

## Abstract The possible involvement of __N__βmethylβDβaspartate (NMDA) receptors in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in nicotine's effect on impairment of memory by morphine was investigated. A passive avoidance task was used for memory assessment in male Wistar rats. Subcutaneous (s.c.) administration
This study examined the effect of chronic antipsychotic treatment on the NMDA-elicited changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the primary culture of rat frontal cortical neurons. Antipsychotics used in the study were chosen for their differential affinities at dopamine D2 rece
The effect of potassium depolarization and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) on the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT; EC 2.6.1.1), an enzyme suggested to be involved in neurotransmitter glutamate synthesis, was studied in cultured cerebellar granule neurons. Both KCI and NMDA increased AAT acti
