The lateral superior olive (LSO), a conspicuous mammalian brainstem nucleus that is involved in sound localization, has become a model system for investigating the formation of topographically organized inhibitory and excitatory connections. In experiments employing intracellular injections of Lucif

We used quantitative autoradiography to determine whether the development of glutamate receptors correlates with the plastic period for monocular deprivation in rat visual cortex. To study glutamate receptors, we incubated sections of rat visual cortex with tritiated (1)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-di
In the developing nervous system, cell death is an important component of refining axonal projections. In the developing rat inferior olive, previous studies have demonstrated cell death as temporally incongruent with both initial axon-target interactions and subsequent axon collateral regression. F
We investigated the role of kainate (KA) receptor activation and desensitization in inducing the increase in the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in individual cultured rat hippocampal neurons. The rat hippocampal neurons in the cultures were shown to express kainate receptor su
