NMDA

Data from EM studies of ER fission in other cell types have not provided conclusive evidence to rule out either complete vesiculation or beading of the ER From our EM analysis of ultrastructural changes caused by short-term NMDA and glutamate treatment it can be concluded that somatic RER may indeed maintain connections between ER vesicles.

One possibility is that exposure to these classes of drugs—known as NMDA antagonists or GABA agonists—during periods of rapid brain growth affects the brain's normal process of "pruning" brain cells, leading to excessive trimming of connections between brain cells, Dr. Flick said.

Gluten also contains significant amounts of glutamate, a molecule that accelerates, activates, excites, and damages brain cells through a special brain receptor or docking station called the NMDA N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor.
