Prefrontal control of cognitive functions critically depends upon glutamatergic transmission and N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, the activity of which is regulated by dopamine. Yet whether the NMDA receptor coagonist d-serine is implicated in the dopamine-glutamate dialogue in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and other brain areas remains unexplored. Here, using electrophysiological recordings, we show that d-serine is required for the fine-tuning of glutamatergic neurotransmission, neuronal excitability, and synaptic plasticity in the PFC through the actions of dopamine at D and D receptors.
