Abstract
Glutamate, norepinephrine, and their receptors comprise the glutamatergic and norepinephrine systems, which mu- tually affect each other and play essential roles in mediating vari- ous neuropsychiatric diseases. This paper reviews the functions of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) and x2-adrenergic receptor (x2-AR) and their functional crosstalk at the molecular level in brain in common neuropsychiatric diseases, which would benefit our understanding of neuropathophysiology of psychiatric diseases, drug development and optimization of clinical neuro- psychopharmacology.
