Results of the present report show that cerebellar neurons in primary culture are resistant to
glutamate concentrations as high as 5 mM in the presence of glucose and Mg 2+, but …

An excessive activation of the excitatory amino acid system has been proposed as one
possible mediator of the ischemia‐induced delayed death of CA1 pyramidal cells in the …

The effects of kainate (KA) on the recovery of neuronal function in rat hippocampal slices
after hypoxia or glucose deprivation (GD) were investigated and compared to those of (R, S) …

Glutamate (glu) is a major excitatory transmitter and a toxin in the brain. In the present study,
the immature rat hippocampal slice was used to determine the morphology, topography …

The N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptor appears to play a pivotal
role in enabling glutamate to express its neurotoxic potential in a variety of neurological …

We investigated the ability of N6‐cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), a potent and selective agonist
of the adenosine A1 receptor, to attenuate elevations of levels of extracellular hippocampal …

The release of preloaded [3 H] glycine from hippocampal slices from 7-day-old and 3-month-
old (adult) mice was studied in different cell-damaging conditions, including hypoxia …

The effect of different concentrations of cysteine (0.125, 0.25, 0.5 and 1mM) on the net efflux
of endogenous amino acids was studied by the incubation of rat hippocampal slices …

Glucose is the main substrate that fulfills energy brain demands. However, in some
circumstances, such as diabetes, starvation, during the suckling period and the ketogenic …

The literature on ionic requirements for excitotoxity is largely contradictory. Depending on
the experimental paradigms, it has been concluded that either Ca 2+ or Na+ and Cl …
