Danilo De Gregorio et al.

Summary: A resurgence of interest in hallucinogens for the treatment of psychiatric disorders has emerged, with studies confirming the efficacy of ketamine in treating depression. Emerging evidence also suggests potential therapeutic properties of psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA for mental diseases.

A novel role for involvement of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors in sperm acrosome reaction

Hamid Reza Momeni et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the function of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors in the acrosome reaction of mouse spermatozoa. The results indicated that the NMDA receptor agonist LG could promote the acrosome reaction and increase intracellular calcium levels in spermatozoa, while the antagonist MK-801 could reverse this effect.

Structural basis of ketamine action on human NMDA receptors

Youyi Zhang et al.

Summary: Ketamine, as a non-competitive channel blocker of NMDA receptors, can produce rapid and long-lasting antidepressant effects. The S-ketamine enantiomer is found to be the more active antidepressant, with its binding pocket in the NMDA receptor involving key amino acids for interaction.
