Popis: NMDA receptor-mediated process of rat neocortex slices prepared from 2-24-day-old rats were studied in Mg(2+)-free solution. The response to NMDA application as well as the susceptibility to epileptiform discharges showed age-dependent changes during the first 4 weeks. Slices from the youngest age group seemed to be the most sensitive to NMDA, whereas epileptic activity developed most readily at around the third week.
