Baseline and stimulus-induced changes in [Ca2+] o and [K+] o as well as field potentials
(fp's) were studied during application of the excitatory amino acids kainate or glutamate, or …

The hippocampal CA3 subregion of the rat is characteristically enriched in kainate receptors.
At the synaptic level, the subcellular localization of these receptors is still a matter of debate …

The functional relevance of presynaptic glutamate receptors in controlling presynaptic Ca2+
influx and thereby transmitter release is unknown. To test if presynaptic Ca2+ entry in the …

The pyramidal neuron loss in dorsal rat hippocampus was determined 4 days after ip
administration of 10 or 20 mg/kg kainic acid (KA). Histological examination revealed that …

The effect of iontophoretically applied kainic acid on the response of CA1 neurones to
Schaffer collateral stimulation has been studied in rat hippocampal slices. Brief applications …

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) …

Ischemia is believed to induce neuronal damage by causing a sustained increase in the
level of extracellular excitatory amino acids. In our study, we have examined the relationship …

The present study used Nissl stains and glutamate decarboxylase immunoreactivity (GAD-
IR) to quantify the acute and chronic toxicity of kainic acid (KA) on focal and remote …

The actions of kainic acid on excitatory synaptic responses in rat hippocampal slices have
been investigated and compared with the effects of other excitatory amino acids. Kainate …

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 …
