Difference between NMDA receptor and Sedative

NMDA receptor vs. Sedative

The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (also known as the NMDA receptor or NMDAR), is a glutamate receptor and ion channel protein found in nerve cells. A sedative or tranquilliser is a substance that induces sedation by reducing irritability or excitement.

Similarities between NMDA receptor and Sedative

NMDA receptor and Sedative have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alcoholic drink, Analgesic, Anesthesia, Anesthetic, Anxiolytic, Dementia, Dextromethorphan, Dextropropoxyphene, Esketamine, Ethanol, Ketamine, Methadone, Nitrous oxide, Opioid, Stimulant, Tramadol, Xenon.

Alcoholic drink

An alcoholic drink (or alcoholic beverage) is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar.

Anesthesia

In the practice of medicine (especially surgery and dentistry), anesthesia or anaesthesia (from Greek "without sensation") is a state of temporary induced loss of sensation or awareness.

Anesthetic

An anesthetic (or anaesthetic) is a drug to prevent pain during surgery, completely blocking any feeling as opposed to an analgesic.
