It is interesting to me to see so many studies concerning the effects of recreational drugs on people with depression. Is there possibly a correlation between existing drug users and depression?
Post-translational modification and subunit swapping of the NMDAr are major mechanisms of LTP. I wonder if blocking NMDAr causes the neuron to switch out the receptor proteins, effectively resetting a good portion of LTP adaptaion.
