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

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 ...

Did you know some viruses don't cause illness and can instead be used to treat disease? Biotechnology startup Axonis ...

Researchers have discovered that the NMDA receptor (NMDAR), known for its role in learning and memory, also stabilizes brain activity by setting baseline neural network activity.

By setting the “baseline” level for activity in neural networks, the NMDAR helps maintain stable brain function amidst ...

New scientific research on how the brain maintains stability amidst continuous environmental and physiological changes offers ...
