Intrahippocampal injection of a selective blocker of NMDA receptors containing the GluN2B subunit, Ro25‐6981, increases glutamate neurotransmission and induces antidepressant‐like effects
Abstract:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious public health problem, as it is the most common psychiatric disorder worldwide. Antidepressant drugs increase adult hippocampal neurogenesis, which is required to induce some behavioral effects of antidepressants. Adult‐born granule cells in the dentate gyrus (DG) and the glutamate receptors subunits 2 (GluN2B) subunit of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) ionotropic receptors play an important role in these effects. However, the precise neurochemical role of the GluN2B su… Show more
