| Research Abstract |
To clarify the roles of individual input in the complex neuronal circuitry, photochemical inactivation of glutamatergic transmission using a photoreactive AMPA receptor antagonist ANQX was adopted for hippocampal slice preparations. Input (layer) specific block was applicable to the hippocampal slice preparation using local UV illumination in combination with application of ANQX.
