This discovery could be important for developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as for conditions affecting memory and cognitive function. This is because NR2B is involved in synaptic plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory formation in the brain.
