Abnormally enhanced N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor function is implicated in Huntington's disease (HD). In this issue of Neuron and a recent issue of Nature Medicine, an abnormal balance between the activity of NMDA receptors at synaptic (prosurvival) and extrasynaptic (proapoptotic) sites has been uncovered in a cellular and a mouse model of HD.
异常增强的 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体功能与亨廷顿病(HD)有关。在本期《神经元》和最近一期《自然医学》中,在 HD 的细胞和小鼠模型中发现了 NMDA 受体在突触(生存促进)和突触外(促凋亡)部位的活性之间存在异常平衡。
