A deficit in NAAG levels would therefore (1) increase the activity of NMDA receptors, leading to over-activation of GABAergic interneurons and consequently disinhibit pyramidal neurons, (2) and reduce the agonist action on mGluR3 receptors located pre-synaptically in glutamatergic neurons, thus removing the negative feedback
