Monitored for 10 days leading up to the ketamine experiment, Johnson's brain activity followed fixed, predictable patterns.

We have investigated the role of mitochondrial calcium buffering in excitotoxic cell death. Glutamate acts at NMDA receptors in cultured rat forebrain neurons to increase the intracellular free ...

Increasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and balancing glutamate, brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, may help alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with ...

Magnesium threonate supports brain health, enhances memory, reduces migraines, and may help prevent cognitive decline.

Neurotransmitters are the words our brain cells use to communicate with one another. For years, researchers relied on tools that provided limited temporal and spatial resolution to track changes in ...

Now, new research from the Warren Center for Neuroscience Drug Discovery (WCNDD) offers hope. Scientists have identified a ...

The fatigue that comes from performing demanding mental tasks may stem from a buildup of the neurotransmitter glutamate, according to research published today (August 11) in Current Biology. Mental ...

Some nerve cells in the brain involved in mood use a chemical called glutamate to communicate with each other. The nerve cells need glutamate receptors – think of them like catcher’s mitts for ...

Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, playing a crucial role in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Understanding how glutamate is transported and how it interacts ...

It can be hard to drink less, for many people, socializing seems to revolve around food and alcohol. Our culture has ...

Glutamate is what many of the neurons in your brain use to communicate with each other, and without it, well, your brain would essentially shut down like a city grid without power. Now ...
