Abstract:
Quantitative analysis of responses to amino acids in mouse cortical slices has indicated that the antagonists kynurenate and 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid distinguish between ibotenate and both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and quinolinate. This result is consistent with the existence of NMDA-receptor subtypes.
