Abstract
D-serine is used to treat a neurological disorder, such as epilepsy, that cases seizures. A composition comprising D-serine is artificially administered to a patient in an effective amount by selectively contacting a region of the patient's brain with the composition. The region of the brain selectively contacted with the composition has cells expressing GluN3 subunit-containing triheteromeric NMDARs.
Claims16
A method of treating epilepsy comprising artificially administering a composition comprising D-serine to an epileptic patient in an amount effective to inhibit the occurrence of epileptic seizures by selectively contacting a region of the patient's brain with the composition, the region being pre-identified as having cells expressing GluN3 subunit-containing triheteromeric NMDARs.
A method of treating a neurological disorder that causes seizures, the method comprising artificially administering a seizure-reducing effective amount of a composition comprising D-serine to a patient in need thereof by selectively contacting a region of the patient's brain with the composition, the region being pre-identified as having cells expressing GluN3 subunit-containing triheteromeric NMDARs.
