That's what happens during a stroke: when brain cells are deprived of oxygen, they release huge amounts of glutamate, which overstimulates nearby NMDA receptors and kills their host cells. Nature may have designed NR2B-based receptors to taper off in adult brains for a reason. Some scientists fear that...
