Decreased free d-aspartate levels are linked to enhanced d-aspartate oxidase activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of schizophrenia patients
NMDA receptor: Enzyme breaks down ion channel activator in schizophrenic brain Altered metabolism of an amino acid activator of ion channels in the brain could explain dysfunctional nerve signaling in schizophrenia. Researchers in Italy led by Alessandro Usiello from Ceinge Biotecnologie Avanzate an...
