    ..Moreover, they suggest that NMDAR hypofunction might, in part, be contributing to the dendritic and synaptic changes observed in schizophrenia and highlight this signaling pathway as a potential target for therapeutic intervention...

    ..Similar to SR-/- mice, there were no protein changes observed in the PFC. These findings illustrate the complexity of synaptic adaptation to altered NMDAR function...
