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 ...

The Sanz-Clemente Lab is devoted to identifying molecular mechanisms regulating glutamate receptor subsynaptic location and utilizing this knowledge to revert/prevent alterations associated with ...

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 ...

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 ...
