Abstract

Granuloprival cerebellar cultures devoid of cortical presynaptic glutamatergic fibers were exposed to nutrient medium incorporating either 10^-3 Md-glutamic acid or 10^-4 M kainic acid. No changes were evident in cultures exposed to the former, while cortical neurons were destroyed in kainate-treated explants. These results suggest that kainic acid neurotoxic effects can be manifested in the absence of glutamatergic afferent fibers.
