## Abstract Zinc is an endogenous NโmethylโDโaspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker. It is possible that zincโmediated modification of hippocampal CA1 longโterm potentiation (LTP) is linked to the expression of NMDA receptor subunits, which varies with postnatal development. In the present study, the ef
Evidence is accumulating that glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity plays an important role in neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, alterations in excitatory amino acid neurotransmission in the basal ganglia contribute to the clinical manifestations of motor dysfunction. Howev
## Abstract Among the different steroids found in the brain, pregnenolone sulfate (3ฮฒโhydroxyโ5โpregnenโ20โoneโ3โsulfate; PREGS) is known to enhance hippocampalโassociated memory. The present study employs rat hippocampal slices to investigate the ability of PREGS to modulate longโterm potentiation
The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and central amygdala (CeA) are parts of the extended amygdala, a complex that plays a key role in drug abuse and dependence. Our previous studies showed that opiates and ethanol alter glutamatergic transmission in these regions. Nmethyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are k
