Article Synopsis
- * It introduces StandardRat, a standardized fMRI acquisition protocol for rats that has been tested across 20 research centers to enhance data integration.
- * The standardized protocol and processing pipeline improve the reliability of detecting functional connectivity patterns and are made publicly available to foster collaboration in the neuroimaging field.
Brain aging is a natural process that involves structural and functional changes that lead to cognitive decline, even in healthy subjects. This detriment has been associated with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction due to a reduction in the brain levels of D-serine, the endogenous NMDAR co-agonist. However, it is not clear if D-serine supplementation could be used as an intervention to reduce or reverse age-related brain alterations.

In the bone, NMDARs and its co-agonist, D-serine participate in all the phases of the remodeling. In the vasculature, NMDARs exerts a tonic vasodilation decreasing blood perfusion in the and the filtration rate in the renal glomerulus.
