The role of D-serine and glycine as co-agonists of NMDA receptors in motor neurone degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

The fundamental role of D-serine as a co-agonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), mediating both physiological actions of glutamate in long term potentiation and nociception and also pathological effects mediated by excitotoxicty, are well established. More recently, a direct link to a...
