Cultured astrocytes from neonatal rat cerebral hemispheres are depolarized by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. In this study we have used selective agonists of different neuronal glutamate receptor subtypes, namely, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainate, and quisqualate type, to charact

Taurine uptake in cultured cerebellar granule cells and astrocytes consisted of a saturable high-affinity component and nonsaturable diffusion. The transport constant (Km) was significantly lower and the maximal velocity (V) higher in granule cells than in astrocytes. The uptakes were strictly sodiu

## Abstract A channel open on the membrane can be formed by palytoxin (PTX). Ten nanomolar PTX caused an irreversible increase in the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca^2+^]~c~), which was abolished in the absence of external calcium. The increase was eliminated by saxitoxin (STX) and nifedipine
