Glutamate and dopamine are important neurotransmitters in the basal ganglia. Dopamine can act via D1 receptors to activate adenylyl cyclase in striatal neurons, while glutamate stimulation of NMDA receptors leads to an increase in intracellular calcium. Increases in intracellular calcium or cAMP can

A modulation of the expression of immediate-early genes (IEGs) such as c-fos is likely involved in the long-term influence of dopaminergic ligands on the activity of basal ganglia neurons. The roles of individual dopamine receptor types in this regard remain unclear, and the present study employed p
Benzodiazepine binding sites in mouse astrocytes and neurons in primary cultures were labeled with [3Hjdiazepam (1.8nM), and their inhibition by 14 different benzodiazepines and 3 benzodiazepine antagonists was studied. RO 5-4864, RO 7-3351, and, especially, the antagonist PK 11195 were much more po
Substance P (SP)-ergic neurons from 16/17 day-embryonic rat brain stem in primary culture were identified by immunocytochemistry using biotinylated avidine and phosphatase alcaline methods with affinity-purified anti-SP antibodies. An average of 84% of neurons contained SP from day 9 to day 21 after
This study aimed to characterize the morphological and electrophysiological properties of neurons in layer V of the entorhinal cortex in the rat brain. Using the in vitro slice preparation and sharp electrode techniques, we recorded from layer V neurons located in the medial entorhinal cortex. Recor
## Abstract Longβterm primary cultures of rat sympathetic neurons require NGF for survival and development. The kinetics of the interaction of ^125^IβNGF with sympathetic neuron cultures suggests the presence of diffusional barriers preventing a determination of true dissociation and association ra
