In order to study this effect more fully, scientists used a glutamate analog known as NMDA (N-methyl-D-Aspartate) which was considerably more potent than glutamate by itself (Souza, 1993). Quite accidentally, the scientists also discovered an NMDA antagonist, which ... derivative" (Sevvenson, 1995).
