Among regulatory binding sites on the NMDAR complex is Accepted 4 August 2008 a glycine binding site, distinct from the glutamate binding site, which must be co-activated for NMDAR channel opening. We developed a novel glycine site partial agonist, GLYX-13, which is both nootropic and Keywords: neuroprotective in vivo. Here, we assessed the effects of GLYX-13 on long-term synaptic plasticity and Glutamate receptor NMDAR transmission at Schaffer collateral–CA1 synapses in hippocampal slices in vitro.GLYX-13 Learning Memory simultaneously enhanced the magnitude of long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission, while N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor reducing long-term depression (LTD). GLYX-13 reduced NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic currents in Partial agonist CA1 pyramidal neurons evoked by low frequency Schaffer collateral stimulation, but enhanced NMDAR Glycine currents during high frequency bursts of activity, and these actions were occluded by a saturating Synaptic plasticity concentration of the glycine site agonist D-serine. Direct two-photon imaging of Schaffer collateral burst- evoked increases in [Ca2þ] in individual dendritic spines revealed that GLYX-13 selectively enhanced burst-induced NMDAR-dependent spine Ca2þ influx. Examining the rate of MK-801 block of synaptic versus extrasynaptic NMDAR-gated channels revealed that GLYX-13 selectively enhanced activation of burst-driven extrasynaptic NMDARs, with an action that was blocked by the NR2B-selective NMDAR antagonist ifenprodil. Our data suggest that GLYX-13 may have unique therapeutic potential as a learning and memory enhancer because of its ability to simultaneously enhance LTP and suppress LTD. Ó 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

  • The Impact of D-Cycloserine and Sarcosine on in Vivo Frontal Neural
    Yao et al. BMC Psychiatry (2019) 19:314 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-019-2306-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The impact of D-cycloserine and sarcosine on in vivo frontal neural activity in a schizophrenia-like model Lulu Yao1, Zongliang Wang1, Di Deng1, Rongzhen Yan1, Jun Ju1 and Qiang Zhou1,2* Abstract Background: N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction has been proposed to underlie the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Specifically, reduced function of NMDARs leads to altered balance between excitation and inhibition which further drives neural network malfunctions. Clinical studies suggested that NMDAR modulators (glycine, D-serine, D-cycloserine and glycine transporter inhibitors) may be beneficial in treating schizophrenia patients. Preclinical evidence also suggested that these NMDAR modulators may enhance synaptic NMDAR function and synaptic plasticity in brain slices. However, an important issue that has not been addressed is whether these NMDAR modulators modulate neural activity/spiking in vivo. Methods: By using in vivo calcium imaging and single unit recording, we tested the effect of D-cycloserine, sarcosine (glycine transporter 1 inhibitor) and glycine, on schizophrenia-like model mice. Results: In vivo neural activity is significantly higher in the schizophrenia-like model mice, compared to control mice. D-cycloserine and sarcosine showed no significant effect on neural activity in the schizophrenia-like model mice. Glycine induced a large reduction in movement in home cage and reduced in vivo brain activity in control mice which prevented further analysis of its effect in schizophrenia-like model mice. Conclusions: We conclude that there is no significant impact of the tested NMDAR modulators on neural spiking in the schizophrenia-like model mice.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental multiple sclerosis studies Hanna Mikaela Vesterinen BSc (Hons) PhD by Research 2013 Abstract Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of disability in young people and yet there are no interventions available which reliably alter disease progression. This is despite several decades of research using the most common animal model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). There is now emerging evidence across the neurosciences to suggest that limited internal validity (measures to reduce bias) and external validity (e.g. using a clinically relevant animal model) may influence the translational success. Aim and objectives: To provide an unbiased summary of the scope of the literature on candidate drugs for MS tested in EAE to identify potential reasons for the failures to translate efficacy to clinical trials.
