Distribution of extracellular glutamate in the neuropil of hippocampus.
Reported values of extracellular glutamate concentrations in the resting state depend on the method of measurement and vary ∼1000-fold. As glutamate levels in the micromolar range can cause receptor desensitization and excitotoxicity, and thus affect neuronal excitability, an accurate determination...
