The pattern of epileptiform activity recorded from a number of in vitro seizure models is age dependent: ictal discharges are observed in immature brain slices while interictal bursts are seen in adult brain slices. This study evaluated the involvement of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in

There is now convincing evidence that excessive accumulation of the excitatory amino acid glutamate (Glu) in the extracellular space is toxic to neurons. However, the regulation of the release and uptake of Glu in producing this toxic concentration has not been adequately ascertained. The authors re
The anticonvulsant properties of ketamine and 2-APV were compared on 3 types of convulsant activity in hippocampal area CA1: the 'picrotoxin-epilepsy,' the 'low magnesium epilepsy' and the 'low calcium epilepsy.' In particular the spontaneous activity, the synaptically evoked responses and the chang
