Abstract
The apparent potencies of quinolinate, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and quisqualate as excitants administered microelectrophoretically to single central neurones have been compared. In the cerebral cortex of rats NMDA has about 10% and quinolinate about 1% of the potency of quisqualate; in spinal cord quinolinate appears to be 5-fold less active. The excitations evoked by quinolinate and NMDA are blocked in parallel by 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate, suggesting that they react with a common receptor.Entities:
