Thirty years have passed since the publication of Elie Bienenstock, Leon Cooper and Paul
Munro's' Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and …

It inhibits neuronal firing by increasing a Cl-conductance. Bicuculline blocks this effect and
induces interictal discharges. A different picture is present in neonatal hippocampal …

L-glutamate, the principal excitatory transmitter in the brain, gates ion channels mediating
fast neurotransmission. Subunit components of two related classes of glutamate receptor …

CONGENERS of nitrogen monoxide (NO) are neuroprotective and neurodestructive1–7. To
address this apparent paradox, we considered the effects on neurons of compounds …

1. Intracellular recordings were made from rat CA3 hippocampal neurones in vitro during the
first eighteen days of postnatal life. The cells had resting membrane potentials more …

The ion current induced by the glutamate receptor agonist N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) in
voltage-clamped hippocampal neurons was inhibited by ethanol (EtOH). Inhibition …

Activity shapes the structure of neurons and their circuits. Two-photon imaging of CA1
neurons expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein in develo** hippocampal slices …

The functioning of the nervous system depends upon the underlying detailed and highly
stereotyped patterns of neuronal connectivity. How these precise patterns of synaptic …

Recent studies suggest that excitatory amino acids (EAAs) have a wide variety of
physiological and pathophysiological roles during central nervous system (CNS) …

Activity-dependent synaptic rearrangements during CNS development require NMDA
receptor activation. The control of NMDA receptor function by developmentally regulated …
