John - I have recently read an article that may be of interest in your pursuit of how the NMDA receptor may be involved in schizophrenia. You should be able to extrapolate information about how antagonists would work in sensitization from the following paper. If not, the article may give you a better understanding of glutamate/dopamine interactions, glutamate/GABA interactions, and AMPA/kainate acid receptor function:
Deutsch SI, Rosse RB, Schwartz BL, & Mastropaolo. A revised excitotoxic hypothesis of schizophrenia: therapeutic implications. Clinical Neuropharmacology; 24 (1): 43-49.
This paper is available online by signing up to Neuroscion ( http://www.neuroscion.com ) and searching the library.
As for downloading the software that you mention; I use a Mac and I don't have a scanner, and as most long-timers on this site will attest, I am hopeless when it comes to doing anything remotely difficult with computers.
I do hope that this article is of some help to you. - Cam
