Recovery of NMDA receptor currents from MK-801 blockade is accelerated by Mg(2+) and memantine under conditions of agonist exposure

MK-801 is a use-dependent NMDA receptor open channel blocker with a very slow off-rate. These properties can be exploited to ‘pre-block’ a population of NMDARs, such as synaptic ones, enabling the selective activation of a different population, such as extrasynaptic NMDARs. However, the usefulness o...
