Activity-dependent pH shifts in hippocampal slices from normal and carbonic anhydrase II-deficient mice.

Abstract excerpt

The type II isoform of carbonic anhydrase is abundant in astrocytes and oligodendroglia. To explore whether the expression of the type II isoform is required for interstitial carbonic anhydrase activity, we studied extracellular pH transients in hippocampal slices from mutant mice devoid of carbonic anhydrase type II and from wild-type littermates. Stimulation of the Schaffer collateral afferents evoked similar...
