NMDA receptors antagonists alleviated the acute phase of traumatic brain injury.

Objectives: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of mortality and disability worldwide. TBI has been associated with factors such as oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis, which are believed to be mediated by the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-type glutamate receptor. Two NMDA receptor antagonists, ketamine and memantine, have shown potential in mitigating the pathophysiological effects of TBI.

Background: Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune, antibody-mediated inflammatory disease of the brain characterized by the presence of IgG antibodies targeting the excitatory N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). Previous research has established that the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) regulates the transport and circulation of immunoglobulins (IgG). Efgartigimod, an FcRn antagonist, has been shown to enhance patient outcomes by promoting IgG clearance, and it has exhibited substantial clinical efficacy and tolerability in the treatment of myasthenia gravis.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide. Long-term exposure to low levels of CPF is associated with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. The mechanisms leading to these effects are still not fully understood.

The balance of activity between glutamatergic and GABAergic networks is particularly important for oscillatory neural activities in the brain. Here, we investigated the roles of GABA receptors in network oscillation in the oral somatosensory cortex (OSC), focusing on NMDA receptors. Neural oscillation at the frequency of 8-10 Hz was elicited in rat brain slices after caffeine application.
