The effects of the NMDAR co-agonist d-serine on the structure and function of optic tectal neurons in the developing visual system
Abstract The N-methyl-d-aspartate type glutamate receptor (NMDAR) is a molecular coincidence detector which converts correlated patterns of neuronal activity into cues for the structural and functional refinement of developing circuits in the brain. d-serine is an endogenous co-agonist of the NMDAR....
