Combinatorial targeting of NMDARs and 5-HT4Rs exerts beneficial effects in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's research & therapy July 15, 2025 Briana K Chen, Holly C Hunsberger, Alicia Whye et al.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia. There are limited approved medications that delay cognitive decline or lessen neuropsychiatric symptoms. Numerous clinical trials for AD using a single drug administration have failed to meet therapeutic endpoints, which is most likely due to the complexity of AD. A multimodal therapeutic intervention is more likely to improve symptoms...

Chronic, combinatorial targeting of NMDARs and 5-HT4Rs exerts extended behavioral effects against stress-induced perseverative behavior and hyponeophagia.

Neuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology April 22, 2025 Briana K Chen, Alicia Whye, Louise C Matthews et al. 2 citations

Serotonin (5-HT) receptors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) have both been implicated in stress-induced psychiatric disorders. However, there is a paucity of studies evaluating the effectiveness of novel combinatorial pharmacological treatments to treat stress-related disorders. Here, we evaluated whether administration of combinatorial (R,S)-ketamine, an NMDAR antagonist and Food...
