| Abstract | We report in this study that, in the presence of magnesium, bath application of micromolar concentrations of glycine have prominent effects on synaptic events and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) responses in neonatal but not in adult hippocampal slices. Intracellular recordings were made from 71 rat CA3 hippocampal neurons in neonatal slices. In keeping with our earlier study, during the first postnatal week, CA3 neurons exhibited giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs). These GDPs are mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) acting on type A GABA (GABAA) receptors and modulated presynaptically by NMDA receptors. In the majority of cells (18 out of 31), glycine (10-30 microM) increased the frequency of GDPs (from 0.14 to 0.29 Hz). This effect was mimicked by D-serine (10-20 microM) and blocked by the NMDA receptor antagonists D-(-)-2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate (50 microM) and DL-2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoate (50 microM) and by the GABAA antagonist bicuculline (10 microM) but not by strychnine (1 microM). Subthreshold concentrations of glycine (or D-serine) and NMDA, when given together, enhanced synaptic noise and the frequency of GDPs. In the presence of tetrodotoxin (1 microM), glycine and D-serine (up to 50 microM) did not modify the NMDA-induced inward currents in CA3 pyramidal cells. However the reduction of NMDA-mediated currents by 7-chlorokynurenate (10-20 microM) was reversed by glycine and D-serine (100-200 microM). In contrast, glycine (up to 100 microM) had no effect on membrane potential, input resistance, or NMDA responses after postnatal day 10. It is concluded that GABA-mediated events are facilitated by glycine acting on presynaptically located NMDA receptors. |

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.
