Researchers at Tel Aviv University have made a fundamental discovery: the NMDA receptor (NMDAR)—long studied primarily for ...

This movie shows two cultured human neurons expressing ASAP5 demonstrating spontaneous electrical activity. One of the neurons is also being recorded with an electrode (black trace). Electrical ...

Dr. Antonella Ruggiero studied NMDAR function in cultured neurons using an innovative technique called "dual perturbation," developed in Prof. Slutsky's lab. "First, I exposed neurons to ketamine, a ...
