Synaptic NMDA receptor activity is coupled to the transcriptional control of the glutathione system.

Nat. Commun. 6 , 6761, (2015)

How the brain's antioxidant defenses adapt to changing demand is incompletely understood. Here we show that synaptic activity is coupled, via the NMDA receptor (NMDAR), to control of the glutathione a...
