| Abstract | The electrical activity of caudate neurones was recorded with intracellular electrodes in halothane anaesthetized cats. Agonists and antagonists of excitatory amino acid receptors were applied by micro-ionophoresis and their effects on membrane- and action potentials and on cortically evoked synaptic potentials evaluated. The agonists, L-aspartate (asp), L-glutamate (glu), N-methyl-DL-aspartate (NMA), quinolinate and quisqualate all depolarized the membrane, caused repetitive firing, reduced the apparent amplitude of the cortically evoked excitatory post-synaptic potentials (e.p.s.p.s) and increased the amplitude of the associated inhibitory post-synaptic potential. Two of the agonists, NMA and quinolinate, additionally caused the appearance of up to 500 ms long depolarizations (plateaus) on the falling phase of action potentials. These plateaus were seen in about two-thirds of the cells in this sample while in the other third the excitatory effects of NMA and quinolinate were indistinguishable from those of glu and quisqualate. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist D-alpha-aminoadipate (DAA) reversibly inhibited the effects of NMA and quinolinate but only on those cells where these two agents evoked action potential plateaus while on the same cells the effects of asp, glu and quisqualate were either only weakly antagonized or not affected. On cells not displaying plateaus to NMA or quinolinate none of the effects of the agonists could be antagonized by DAA. DAA applications that completely antagonized the effects of NMA never reduced the amplitudes of cortically evoked e.p.s.p.s. Cis-2,3-piperidine dicarboxylate also blocked the effects of NMA and asp at low application currents while at higher currents it enhanced the effects of glu or asp although still retaining its NMA antagonistic activity. High-frequency stimulation of the cortico-caudate pathway resulted in long-lasting depolarizations and repetitive firing, but plateaus of the type caused by NMA or quinolinate were not seen. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
