We have investigated the effects of iontophoretically administered gamma-D-glutamylaminomethyl sulfonate (GAMS) on excitation of dorsal horn neurons and Renshaw cells of the cat spinal cord induced by exogenous excitants and by synaptic activation following stimulation of low threshold primary afferent
Glutamate excitotoxicity may culminate with neuronal and glial cell death. Glutamate induces apoptosis in vivo and in cell cultures. However, glutamate-induced apoptosis and the signaling pathways related to glutamate-induced cell death in acute hippocampal slices remain elusive. Hippocampal slices exposed

The effects of stereoisomers of gamma-glutamylaminomethylsulphonic acid (GAMS) on convulsions produced by intracerebroventricular injections of excitatory amino acids were studied in mice. gamma-D-GAMS preferentially blocked myoclonic seizures induced by kainate and had less pronounced anticonvulsant effect against quisqualate, N-methyl-D-aspartate, quinolinate

A functional analysis of AMPA and kainate receptors (AMPARs and KARs) in the lateral superior olive (LSO), a major nucleus in the auditory brainstem, has not been performed so far, to our knowledge. Here we investigated the presence and characteristics
Sudden cooling of the isolated spinal cord of frogs results in characteristic seizure-like activity in the hind legs. In the present investigation, these spinal seizures induced by sudden cooling (SSSC) were studied to determine whether excitatory amino acids (EAAs) are
