N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDA receptor)

These are the healthy regulators of the Synaptic Plasticity and Memory relative functions rich in glutamate or D – Serine residues found in Nerve cells.

The NMDA receptor is one of three pharmacologically distinct subtypes of inotropic receptor channels that are sensitive to the endogenous excitatory amino acids which are far essential for the development of the central nervous system (CNS) generation of rhythms for breathing and locomotion.
