Recent work has shown that the hippocampus contains a class of receptors for the excitatory amino acid glutamate that are activated by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)1 and that exhibit a peculiar dependency on membrane voltage in becoming active only on depolarization2,3. Blockade of these sites with the drug aminophosphonovaleric acid (AP5) does not detectably affect synaptic transmission in the hippocampus, but prevents the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) following brief…

It is reported that NPC17742 completely blocked dentate gyrus LTP but did not prevent normal spatial learning in rats that had been made familiar with the general task requirements by non-spatial pretraining, indicating that this form of LTP is not required for normal spatiallearning in the watermaze.

Results indicate that rats are capable of processing contextual information in the absence of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent LTP and demonstrate an important dissociation between the effects of hippocampal lesions and the blockade of NMDA receptors in the hippocampus.

Voltage-dependent block by Mg2+ of NMDA responses in spinal cord neurones
- BiologyNature
- 1984
Using voltage-clamp experiments on mouse spinal cord neurones, it is shown that the voltage-sensitivity of NMDA action is greatly reduced on the withdrawal of physiological concentrations (∼1 mM) of Mg2+ from the extracellular fluid, providing further evidence that Mg 2+ blocks inward current flow through ion channels linked to NMDA receptors.

The voltage dependence of the NMDA receptor-linked conductance appears to be a consequence of the voltage dependenceof the Mg2+ block and its interpretation does not require the implication of an intramembrane voltage-dependent ‘gate’.

DGG and APV did not affect ACh excitations and these selective antagonists should be of value in studying the involvement of the excitatory amino acids in synaptic transmission in the hippocampus, while PDA, GDEE, D‐ and L‐APB may be less useful in this regard.

The results suggest that the frontal andParietal cortex of rats play different roles in the control of spatial orientation but do not support the view that egocentric and allocentric spatial orientation are related to frontal and parietal mechanisms, respectively.
