Functional role for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in the caudate nucleus: a 2-deoxy[14C]glucose investigation.

abstract：:In the mammalian central nervous system, the excitatory amino acid transmitter L-glutamate activates three pharmacologically distinguishable receptors, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), kainate, and quisqualate receptors. The present paper addresses the issue of whether these three receptors operate independent channel...
