Quizplus · Accepted Answer

D-cycloserine is a partial agonist at the glycine binding site of the NMDA receptor, which has been found to enhance learning and memory consolidation. Studies have shown that adding D-cycloserine to exposure therapy can enhance the effects of treatment for phobias. SSRIs and TCAs are not typically used in combination with exposure therapy for phobias, and while beta blockers may be used to lessen physical symptoms of anxiety, they do not impact learning and memory consolidation.
