Paraneoplastic Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis Associated With Ovarian Teratoma
Ann Neurol 61:25-36,3, Dalmau,J.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Antibodies to NR2B- and NR2A-containing heteromers of the NMDAR associate with a severe but treatment-responsive encephalitis. Our findings provide a diagnostic test and suggest a model of autoimmune NMDAR-related encephalitis with broad implications for other immune-mediated disorders of memory, behavior, and cognition.
