The effect of adenosine and related compounds on the release of endogenous aspartate
and glutamate from isolated, superfused rat hippocampal slices was studied at rest and …

A thin dialysis tube was implanted stereotaxically under halothane anesthesia in the
caudate nucleus of Sprague-Dawley rats and perfused with Ringer solution at a rate of 2 …

The effects of four xanthines (theophylline, 8-phenyltheophylline, isobutylmethylxanthine
(IBMX), and 7-benzyl-IBMX) were studied in the hippocampal slice in vitro. These agents …

By means of Timm's silver sulfide stain, the proportions of synaptic terminal fields covering
cross-sections from the regio inferior of the hippocampus were determined planimetrically at …

In slices of rat hippocampus, adenosine and several adenosine derivatives depressed
evoked neuronal responses to afferent stimulation. The nanomolar potency of adenosine …

In CA1 pyramidal neurons, 5 μM adenosine had no measurable effect on resting membrane
potential or resistance, while excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials generated by …

The hypothesis is advanced that (neuro) melanin (in conjunction with other pigment
molecules such as the isopentenoids) functions as the major organizational molecule in …

Electrophysiology of BZR ligands has been reviewed from different points of view. A great
effort was made to critically discuss the arguments for and against the temporarily leading …
