Do the ependymal cells contain vasoactive intestinal polypeptide?

abstract：RATIONALE:Some investigations have shown that the glutamate receptors play a critical role in cognitive processes such as learning and anxiety. OBJECTIVES:The possible involvement of the cholinergic system of the dorsal hippocampus in the anxiolytic-like response induced by MK-801, NMDA receptor antagonist, was invest...
