Modulation ofN-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist-induced darting behaviour by the peptidomimetic PAMTA

The N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor has attracted much attention in recent years due to its involvement in both the functions and dysfunctions of CNS neurotransmission. The existence of multiple sites by which NMDA receptor channel function can be pharmacologically modified and the interaction between glutamate and other neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine, provide exciting therapeutic avenues for related CNS disorders. In the …
