Abstract excerpt
Glutamate NMDA receptor antagonists are used clinically. However, they have serious side effects, some of which are presumably due to an increase in acetylcholine transmission. Our previous experiments revealed acetylcholine-dependent excitation in rat hypothalamic cultures after a chronic glutamate receptor blockade. Dextromethorphan, amantadine, and eliprodil are NMDA receptor antagonists. Lamotrigine inhibits...
