Intrathecal (i.t.) administration of the opioid dynorphin causes neurological dysfunction and tissue damage. It has been suggested that these effects of dynorphin may be mediated, in part, by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. In the present studies, recently developed compounds that block

Whole-cell and single-channel patch-clamp recordings from hippocampal neurons in culture have been used to study the receptor channel selectivity of the glutamate analog quisqualate. The dose-response relationship of quisqualate acting at the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor was measured as that portion
