UCM-A86 is a selective positive allosteric modulator of GluN1/GluN3 NMDA receptors

Avery J. Benton, Mia R. Johns, Emil Diamant, Nirvan Rouzbeh, Valdemar P. Sørensen, Carly M. Anderson, Davide Secci, Zhucheng Zhang, Andrew R. Rau, Rasmus P. Clausen, Kasper Bø Hansen

This paper introduces UCM-A86, a selective positive allosteric modulator of GluN1/GluN3 NMDA receptors, showing specific potentiation without affecting GluN2-containing receptors or AMPA receptors.

Ventral tegmental area glutamate neurons mediate the nonassociative consequences of traumatic stress

Dillon J. McGovern, Koy L. Ecton, David T. Huynh, Andrew R. Rau, Shane T. Hentges, Annie Ly, Michael V. Baratta, David H. Root

This study shows that uncontrollable stress increases VTA glutamate neuron activity and leads to social avoidance in mice, which can be prevented by reducing neuron activity.
