Immature and mature rat astroglia in culture were assayed for glutamine synthetase (GS) activity after a single exposure to the epileptogen FeCI2. Cells were cultured with both standard and elevated extracellular potassium or glutamate (Glu) concentrations. FeCI2 reduced GS activity below control le
