| Abstract | 1. The sensitivity to kainic acid of neurones in the CA1 and CA3 regions of rat hippocampal slices has been examined by microiontophoresis and by superfusion methods. 2. When the iontophoretic currents needed to produce comparable plateaux of firing were compared, neurones in the pyramidal cell layer of the CA3 region were approximately 5 times more sensitive than cells in the CA1 region. No difference was noted in sensitivity to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) or quisqualate. 3. When kainate was superfused at known concentrations, the threshold for eliciting excitation in CA1 was 2.1 microM. The threshold concentration in CA3 was 0.24 microM. 4. Two weeks after the stereotaxic intrahippocampal injection of colchicine, the granule cells of the dentate gyrus and thus the mossy fibre projections to CA3 were destroyed. In slices prepared from animals thus treated the threshold concentration of kainate for eliciting excitation had risen to 1.64 microM. 5. Kainate was less effective in promoting the development of epileptiform bursts of neuronal firing in colchicine-treated slices than in controls. 6. Kynurenic acid antagonized the excitation of CA1 neurones elicited by kainate, NMDA or quisqualate. In the CA3 region kynurenate antagonized selectively responses to microiontophoretic NMDA, with little effect on responses to kainate or quisqualate. 7. In slices taken from colchicine-treated rats kynurenate was able to block responses to kainate in the CA3 area in parallel with responses to NMDA. 8. Taken together the results suggest that the excitatory responses to kainate in the CA3 region may be partly due to a presynaptic action on mossy fibre terminals to release endogenous amino acids.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

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.
