Researchers reveal NMDAR protein's crucial movement for brain function
Summary: Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified a critical movement in the NMDAR protein's function, essential for cognitive processes like memory. Using electron cryo-microscopy, they captured the NMDAR's "Twist" that opens its ion channel. This discovery may lead to improved drugs for neurological disorders, as NMDAR's precise movements are crucial for proper brain function. The study is published in *Nature*.
