Embryonic depletion of D-aspartate perturbs NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation in the hippocampus of juvenile mice

Dalila Mango, Francesco Errico, Zoraide Motta…·Alessandro Usiello

This study shows that embryonic depletion of D-aspartate in mice leads to increased NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation in juvenile hippocampus, which is reversible with exogenous D-aspartate.

Location of NMDARs and co-agonist controls the generation of bursts in nigral dopamine neurons

Sofian Ringlet, Zoraide Motta, Laura M. Vandries…·Dominique Engel

The paper shows that extrasynaptic NMDARs, activated by glycine and glutamate spillover, drive bursting in nigral dopamine neurons, while synaptic NMDARs use D-serine.
