An international research team has secured nearly $800,000 to advance a potential regenerative therapy for MS toward clinical ...

Overactivation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) is a critical early step in glutamate-evoked excitotoxic injury of CNS neurons. Distinct NMDAR-coupled pathways specified by, for example, receptor location ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 106, No. 52 (Dec. 29, 2009), pp. 22480-22485 (6 pages) Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurological ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Your chances of getting a nasty migraine increase following a spinal cord injury, thanks to a chemical messenger in the brain that spikes to toxic levels, past studies have ...

UCSF researchers have identified a correlation between higher levels of glutamate, which occurs naturally in the brain as a byproduct of metabolism, and greater disease burden in multiple sclerosis ...

Glutamate, often called the brain's "workhorse," is crucial for communication in the central nervous system (CNS). As the main excitatory neurotransmitter, it activates neurons, helping us learn, ...

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 ...
