The effects of aging on activation of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors were studied in the CA1 field of hippocampal slices from young (3-to 4-month-old) and aged (24-to 27-month-old) Sprague-Dawley rats with the use of ex vivo electrophysiological recording techniques. The depolarization of m

β¦ Synopsis
The distribution of L-glutamic acid in single layers dissected from freezedried sections of the rabbit hippocampus was estimated by means of an enzymatic cycling procedure. Although the regional variation in glutamate content is less than that of other transmitter candidates, there were present significant differences in it between the projection fields of certain fiber connections. Glutamate concentration was highest in the termination areas of commissural fibers and Schaffer's collaterals.

We (Lcung et al., in press) used current source densiry (CSD) analysis to show that medial perforant path stimulation evoked a current sink at the distal apical dendrites of CAI (Fig. I), in addition to the excitation (sink) at the middle molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. Both CAI and dentate si
