Abstract
Responses of pyramidal neurons to ionophoretic kainate, quisqualate and N-methyl aspartate were studied in a submerged rat piriform cortex slice as a function of Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations. The results suggest that the channel activated by kainate is unusually influenced by Ca2+, excitotoxicity is Ca2+-dependent and a function of Ca2+ concentration, and the excitotoxic actions of various amino acid agonists are correlated with the Ca2+ dependence of their responses.Entities:
