Ketamine Alleviates NMDA Receptor Hypofunction Through Synaptic Trapping

Ketamine Alleviates NMDA Receptor Hypofunction Through Synaptic Trapping

With the advancement of neuroscience research, the crucial role of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDA receptors, NMDAR) in neurotransmission and cognitive functions has become increasingly clear. NMDARs are a type of ionotropic glutamate receptor that play an important role in neuronal synapses, responsible for rapid excitatory transmission and s...
