The Activation of Novel Calcium-dependent Pathways Downstream of N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptors

Calcium (Ca2+) influx through N-methyl-D-asparate receptors (NMDARs) is widely held to be the requisite step initiating delayed neuronal death following ischemic stroke. However, blocking NMDARs fails to prevent the accumulation of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and subsequent neurotoxicity. This su...
