[3H]MK-801 binding was used as a marker for the NMDA receptorion channel complex in postmortem brain samples from the frontal cortex, hippocampus, putamen, entorhinal region, and amygdala of schizophrenic patients and controls. In schizophrenia [3H]MK-801 binding levels were increased in all brain regions investigated reaching significance in the putamen.

The endocannabinoid system has been shown to be a powerful mediator of anxiety, learning and memory, as well as nociception behaviors. Exogenous cannabinoids like delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol mimic the naturally occurring endogenous cannabinoids found in the mammalian central and peripheral nervous system. The hydrophobic properties of endocannabinoids mean that these psychoactive compounds require help with cellular transport.

Glutamate (Glu) is considered the most important excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter in the mammalian Central Nervous System. Zinc (Zn) is co-released with Glu during synaptic transmission and interacts with Glutamate receptors and transporters. We performed binding experiments using [H]MK-801 (NMDA), and [H]Fluorowillardine (AMPA) as ligands to study Zn-Glutamate interactions in rat cortical synaptic membranes.

Labeled with carbon-11, N-(2-chloro-5-thiomethylphenyl)-N'-(3-methoxyphenyl)-N'-methylguanidine ([ C]GMOM) is currently the only positron emission tomography (PET) tracer that has shown selectivity for the ion-channel site of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in human imaging studies. The present study reports on the selectivity profile and in vitro binding properties of GMOM. The compound was screened on a panel of 80 targets, and labeled with tritium ([ H]GMOM).

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) pathways play an important role in neuronal circuitry formation during early postnatal development. Our previous studies revealed an increased risk for adverse neurodevelopmental consequences in animals exposed to benzodiazepines, which enhance GABA inhibition via GABA receptors. We reported that administration of the benzodiazepine clonazepam (CZP) during postnatal days 7-11 resulted in permanent behavioral alterations.
