March 2011 \u2013<\/i> Researchers in Dr. Ben Philpot\u2019s lab have discovered a new role for a class of receptors that underlie learning and memory in the brain. In a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience<\/a><\/i>, they found that one type of these receptors \u2013 the NR3A subtype of NMDA receptors \u2013 is expressed at high levels during formative periods of early brain development, where it promotes the release of brain neurotransmitters and weakens connections between neurons. Since NMDA receptors contribute to a large number of neurological disorders \u2013 including schizophrenia, neuropathic pain, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, forms of mental retardation, and ischemic injury \u2013 the researchers\u2019 findings are of particular importance because they suggest a novel functions for these receptors in the human brain. This work was also highlighted in the Nature Neuroscience<\/i>\u2018s News & View section<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
