The work of Katz and colleagues (Katz, 1969) provided an understanding of the main
modeof neurotransmitter release in the nervous system. Calcium entry into the presynaptic …

In this article we have summarized the basic information which identifies several key issues
in the study of perireceptor and receptor events in vertebrate olfaction. We have emphasized …

PURPOSE: To investigate the photopic flash electroretinograms (ERGs) of macaque
monkeys in which visual field defects developed as a consequence of experimental …

Light-evoked intraretinal field potentials (electroretinogram, ERG) have been measured
simultaneously with extracellular potassium fluxes in the amphibian retina. The application …

Existing models of the primate photopic electroretinogram (ERG) attribute the light-adapted
b–wave to activity of depolarizing bipolar cells (DBCs), mediated through a release of …

Efflux of K+ from dissociated salamander Müller cells was measured with ion-selective
microelectrodes. When the distal end of an isolated cell was exposed to high concentrations …

The inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir4. 1 has been suggested to underlie the
principal K+ conductance of mammalian Müller cells and to participate in the generation of …

Local increases in neuronal activity within the brain lead to dilation of blood vessels and to
increased regional cerebral blood flow. Increases in extracellular potassium concentration …

Glutamate is taken up avidly by glial cells in the central nervous system1. Glutamate uptake
may terminate the transmitter action of glutamate released from neurons1, and keep …

The electroretinogram (ERG) of the dark-adapted cat eye in response to brief ganzfeld
flashes of a wide range of intensities was recorded after intravitreal injection of n-methyl dl …
