N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors: Structure, function, and role in organophosphorus compound poisoning

Authors: Dora Kolić, Zrinka Kovarik AbstractAcute organophosphorus compound (OP) poisoning induces symptoms of the cholinergic crises with the occurrence of severe epileptic seizures. Seizures are induced by hyperstimulation of the cholinergic system, but are enhanced by hyperactivation of the glutamatergic system. Overstimulation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors by the elevated acetylcholine causes glutamatergic hyperexcitation and an increased …
