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

We report here that high-affinity uptake mechanisms for two or three putative neurotransmitter molecules coexist in many of the neurons present in glia-free, purified neuronal monolayers from chick embryo retina. Replicate cultures were incubated with the tritiated forms of the amino acids gamma-ami
In primary cultures of neurons and astrocytes from rat brain, the cellular contents of Kf and Na' were used to assess plasma membrane permeability in response to osmotic shock. In contrast to trypan blue exclusion, the measure of ionic content reflected both transient and permanent membrane damage,
