N-METHYL D-ASPARTIC ACID (NMDA) RECEPTORS AND DEPRESSION

N-Methyl D-Aspartic Acid (NMDA) Receptors and Depression

The monoaminergic hypothesis of depression has provided the basis for extensive research into the pathophysiology of mood disorders and has been of great significance for the development of effective antidepressants.Current antidepressant treatments not only increase serotonin and/or noradrenaline bioavailability but also originate adaptive changes

Spatial Working Memory in Male Rats: Pre-Experience and Task Dependent Roles of Dopamine D1- and D2-Like Receptors

The dopaminergic system is known to be involved in working memory processed by several brain regions like prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus, striatum.In an earlier study we could show that Levodopa but not Modafinil enhanced working memory in a T-maze only during the early phase of training (day 3), whereas the later phase remained unaffected.Ra
