## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of spider toxins on brain injury induced by oxygen deprivation and low glucose (ODLG) insult on slices of rat hippocampus. After ODLG insult cell viabilility in hippocampal slices was assessed by confocal microscopy and epifluorescence
L-Glutamate (L-GLU) induced astrocyte swelling in a time-and concentration-dependent, as well as Na Ψand Ca 2Ψ -dependent, and Cl --independent manner. Swelling was prevented by MK-801, cystine, and ouabain. Since L-GLU swelling is ionically dependent, we determined the role of various ions in such
