Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have demonstrated that adenosine A(2A) receptor (A(2A)R) inactivation protects against brain injury caused by cerebral ischemia in various animal models. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. We examined the effect A(2A)R genetic inactivation on extracellular glutamate in the striatum and its relationship to the neuroprotection afforded by A(2A)R inactivation following...
