Can we have a post for the beginners for understanding NMDA nootropic action?

I'm new. AMPA receptors make a lot more sense than NMDA receptors when it comes to enhanced cognition, but they both seem crucial.
With NMDA receptors. Antagonists, agonists, and modulators all seem to have a complex role that I don't understand when it comes to cognition enhancement.
For instance Ketamine and PCP are an antagonistic yet so is Memantine and huperzine-A . Some cause Olney's Lesions and others are for Alzheimers.
Is there a NMDA explanation that is more straightforward out there?
Can somebody lay out NMDA for those in the dark like me?

I've heard a lot of praise for magnesium glycinate for being the most cost effective. Magnesium L-threonate is said to be the best for cognitive enhancement purposes.

Haha, you said most of what I was going to say. Good job! I saw this post when it first came up, but I had food poisoning and my brain was not working. I'm glad you stepped up to give a great explanation!
