Non-canonical cell signaling actions of pregnenolone sulfate, a neurosteroid that increases intracellular calcium, activates creb phosphorylation and stimulates trafficking of NMDA receptors to the surface of neurons

Preclinical results support the use of N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) modulators for cognition enhancement therapeutics. Pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) is a neuroactive steroid derived from cholesterol that augments long term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal slices and improves memory performa...
