以NMDA作为神經傳導功能单位

以NMDA作为神經傳導功能单位

the NMDA (an amino acid derivative: N-methyl-D-aspartic acid, N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸) acts as a chemical signal messenger (= "neurotransmitter" 神經遞質) for neuronal cell signalling at NMDA receptors (channels of protein structures at the cell membrane). The NMDA is implicated in long-term memory formation.

-- 神經傳導 (neural transmission)

-- 功能单位 (functional unit)
