Abstract

Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and dysfunction of glutamate transmission is the likely cause of a variety of diseases including neurodegeneration following cerebral ischemia, Huntington's chorea, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, epilepsy, spasticity, emesis, chronic pain, and schizophrenia. Excitatory amino acid receptor agonists and antagonists are therefore of major interest as potential drugs for central nervous system disorders. Excitatory Amino Acids is the first book entirely dedicated to the results of human testing of modulators of excitatory amino

Abstract

The NMDA receptor plays a critical role in the development of the central nervous system and in adult neuroplasticity, learning, and memory. Therefore, it is not surprising that this receptor has been widely studied. However, despite the importance of rhythms for the sustenance of life, this aspect of NMDAR function remains poorly studied. Written by one of the world's leading authorities on NMDA receptors, ""Biology of the NMDA Receptor"" brings together virtually all the players in this important field.

Abstract

How do we memorize ? What are the molecular mechanisms behind memory? These questions were already on the mind of scientists for many years. A few clues have emerged over time. We know that there are various kinds of memory but we have focused here on long term memory. The various steps in the memorization process i.e. learning, consolidation, storing and retrieval, were discussed while emphasizing the cascades of molecular signals involving the NMDA-receptors, protein kinases, the synthesis of novel proteins, etc…
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a compound discovered in the brain of mammals, is involved in the process of memorization. More specifically, it produces anterograde amnesia through down-regulation of the cortical NMDA-receptors. GHB got the nickname of “rape drug” due to this property. Besides this use and its narcotic potential, GHB should also be regarded as a drug of high therapeutic value since its use could be considered in the treatment of narcolepsy, insomnia, addiction to alcohol or uploads, as well as in the treatment of Alzheimer disease. GHB is not yet available as a medicine on the Belgian market. Comment mémorise-t-on ? Quels sont les mécanismes moléculaires de la mémoire ? Voici des questions que les scientifiques se posent depuis longtemps déjà, et auxquelles certaines pistes de réponse ont émergées au fil du temps. Nous savons qu’il existe différents types de mémoire, mais celle qui sera approfondie dans ce texte est le mémoire à long terme. Les différentes étapes de mémorisation, à savoir l’apprentissage, la consolidation, le stockage et la récupération, sont ici détaillées, mettant en avant des cascades de signalisation moléculaires incluant les récepteurs NMDA, des protéines kinases, la synthèse de nouvelles protéines, …
Le γ-hydrocybutyrate ou GHB, un composé retrouvé au sein du cerveau des mammifères est impliqué dans ce processus de mémoire. Plus précisément, il entraîne une amnésie antérograde, par down-régulation des récepteurs NMDA corticaux. C’est pour cette propriété notamment que le GHB est connu comme étant la « drogue du viol ». Outre cette utilisation, c’est également une drogue, mais aussi une substance à haut potentiel thérapeutique, puisqu’elle pourrait être utilisées dans le traitement de la narcolepsie, d’insomnies, de dépendances à l’alcool et aux opiacés, ainsi que dans le traitement de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Le GHB n’est pas encore commercialisé comme médicament en Belgique
