Glutamic acid is an amino acid with multiple biological roles. In the animal world, it links the
metabolism of carbon and nitrogen and, depending on the need, serves either as a source …

The extracellular levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter
in the mammalian cerebral cortex, are regulated by specific high-affinity, Na+/Cl− dependent …

By light microscopic immunocytochemistry it has been previously shown that approximately
equal to 70% of the neurons in rat dorsal root ganglia are labeled with an antiserum for …

The use of immunocytochemical and histochemical methods to study colocalization of two or
more chemical compounds in the same neuron has revealed that there is a great diversity of …

Interactions between dopamine and glutamate play prominent roles in memory, addiction,
and schizophrenia. Several lines of evidence have suggested that the ventral midbrain …

By way of introduction, an outline is presented of the origin and evolutionary development of
the neocortex. A cortical formation is lacking in amphibians, but a simple three-layered …

Antisera to a glutamate (Glu) conjugate, to glutaminase (GLN), and to substance P (SP)
have been used to investigate the issue of putative glutamergic neurons in the dorsal root …

The alpha subunit of type II calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CAM II kinase-
alpha) plays an important role in longterm synaptic plasticity. We applied preembedding …
