NMDA Receptors and Brain Diseases | Shujia Zhu | TEDxJinhaiLake

NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors are a type of glutamate receptor that play a critical role in brain function. These receptors are found throughout the brain and are involved in a variety of processes, including learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity.However, abnormalities in NMDA receptor function have been implicated in a number of brain diseases and disorders.Overall, research into the role of NMDA receptors in brain diseases is ongoing, and these receptors present a promising target for the development of new treatments. Zhu Shujia, a senior researcher, doctoral supervisor, and research group leader at the Center of Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligent Technology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She serves as the chief scientist of the Science and Technology Innovation 2030 Youth Project and the chief scientist of the Youth Cross-Team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She has won titles such as Major Progress in Chinese Neuroscience, Shanghai Youth Science and Technology Talent, Outstanding Young Science and Technology Innovation Talent of Shanghai Branch, and Excellent Mentor of Chinese Academy of Sciences. She leads her team to actively respond to the national and social demand for brain health and focuses on a series of studies on an excitatory channel protein in the brain, NMDA receptor, and the mechanism of brain diseases. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
