Addendum to “Emerging evidence for astrocyte dysfunction in schizophrenia”

Abstract

The activation of NMDA receptors requires the binding of glutamate and endogenous co-agonists D-serine or glycine (Oliet & Mothet, 2009).A number of studies have shown that deficits in the availability of D-serine may contribute to the NMDA hypofunction associated with SCZ
