Excitatory Amino Acids: 1990

This multidisciplinary volume presents findings on excitatory amino acids from some of the world's leading researchers in the field. An overview of recent neurochemical studies on glutamate-mediated neurotransmission is followed by more than 80 studies in the areas of anatomy; molecular biology; electrophysiology, pharmacology, and signal transduction; kynurenate and quinolinate; medicinal chemistry; long-term potentiation and synaptic plasticity; behavioural pharmacology; excitotoxicity; and epilepsy, ischemia and related pathologies.
