Module 02: Xenon NMDA Antagonism and Neuroprotection Model
============================================================

Models the mechanism of xenon as an NMDA receptor antagonist and
neuroprotective agent for dopamine neurons in schizophrenia.

Key findings from literature:
- Xenon is a potent NMDA receptor antagonist (competes at glycine coagonist site)
- Protects dopamine neurons from excitotoxicity (Lavaur et al. 2017, J Neurochem)
- Reduces ischemia-induced neurotransmitter release
- Neuroprotection at 35-75% concentrations (Ma et al. 2005)
- Memantine-like effect (non-competitive NMDA antagonist)
- Trophic stimulation of midbrain dopamine neurons
- No activity at GABA receptors (unlike volatile anesthetics)
- Fast onset/offset (monatomic gas, diffuses rapidly)
- Approved for anesthesia in many countries (not FDA-approved in US)

Schizophrenia relevance:
- NMDA hypofunction hypothesis: reduced NMDA activity on GABA interneurons
  -> disinhibition of glutamate -> dopamine dysregulation
- Xenon directly blocks NMDA receptors, potentially normalizing glutamate tone
- Neuroprotection of dopamine neurons (prevents progressive loss)
- Trophic effects may reverse some structural deficits
