Fyn inhibition rescues established memory and synapse loss in Alzheimer mice.
New
New Haven, United States. In Ann Neurol, 23 Mar 2015

Prenatal Exposure to Ultrasound Affects Learning and Memory in Young Rats.
Review
New
Shanghai, China. In Ultrasound Med Biol, 28 Feb 2015
Using real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, we also determined that both the mRNA and protein expression levels of hippocampal N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor units 1 (NR1) and 2B (NR2B) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were significantly lower in pups exposed to ultrasound for 20 min than in controls.
Neurological effects of inorganic arsenic exposure: altered cysteine/glutamate transport, NMDA expression and spatial memory impairment.
New
Mexico. In Front Cell Neurosci, Dec 2014
Gestational exposure to iAs affected the expression of cysteine/glutamate transporters in cortex and hippocampus and induced a negative modulation of NMDAR NR2B subunit in the hippocampus.

New York City, United States. In Schizophr Res, Aug 2014
Seropositive participants in psychiatric groups had various combinations of IgG, IgM, and IgA class antibodies against NR1, NR1/NR2B, and NR2A/NR2B subunits.

Review
New
In Nihon Shinkei Seishin Yakurigaku Zasshi, Feb 2014
Electrophysiology in the CA1 region of the hippocampus revealed that LTP, the NMDA/AMPA ratio, and NR2B function were enhanced, indicating that synaptic maturation was impaired in the knock-in mice.
Glycine site agonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor and Parkinson's disease: a hypothesis.
Review
Jerusalem, Israel. In Mov Disord, 2013
More recent theories indicate that NMDAR target selectivity may be a cardinal prerequisite for efficacy, with present efforts being devoted primarily to development of NMDAR-NR2B subunit antagonists.

Review
Sagamihara, Japan. In Dev Growth Differ, 2013
Expression and modulation of NR2B subunit-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the HDCo cells are crucial for plastic changes in this circuit as well as the process of visual imprinting.

Mechanism of differential control of NMDA receptor activity by NR2 subunits.
Impact
Paris, France. In Nature, 2009
A fundamental difference between NMDAR subtypes is their channel maximal open probability (P(o)), which spans a 50-fold range from about 0.5 for NR2A-containing receptors to about 0.01 for receptors containing NR2C and NR2D; NR2B-containing receptors have an intermediate value (about 0.1).
