Yet there is usually little or no information on the effectiveness of attempting to quarantine humans that is not of an anecdotal or conjectural nature. This paper describes how a
The linkage of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of L-glutamate receptor to the nitric oxide (N0)/3',S'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) intracellular signalling system was investigated in murine neocortical cultures by examining the effects of NMDA antagonists, NO synthase inhibitors, an
