| Abstract | The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor has been implicated in a variety of systems that undergo plastic changes in the central nervous system. We used electron microscopic immunocytochemistry with an antibody directed against an alternatively spliced exon near the C terminus of NMDAR1, the essential functional subunit of the NMDA receptor, to study the distribution of the NMDA receptor in the spinal cord and CA1 region of the hippocampus, two regions where NMDA-mediated long-term plasticity has been demonstrated. In CA1, we found that the NMDA receptor is exclusively expressed on postsynaptic structures. By contrast, in the spinal cord we found that in about one-third of labeled synapses, the receptor is located in the presynaptic terminal, immediately adjacent to the vesicle release site at the active zone. Using combined postembedding immunocytochemistry, we also showed that > 70% of the NMDA receptor immunoreactive terminals are glutamate positive, which suggests that the presynaptic NMDA receptor is an autoreceptor. Nerve ligation studies demonstrated that the receptor is transported in dorsal roots and sciatic nerve to the spinal cord and periphery, respectively. These data indicate that an NMDA autoreceptor is located in terminals of primary afferent fibers, where it could facilitate the transmission of inputs to the spinal cord by increasing the release of neurotransmitter from the primary afferent terminal. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
