Scientific Background: NR2B containing receptors have been implicated in synaptic plasticity, memory formation and pain modulation (1). Studies suggest that the NR2B subunit of glutamate receptors may be potential targets for relieving pain; NR2B may be a probable target for anti-nociceptive drugs, and may also be useful as analgesics (2).
