Electrophysiological actions of hemoglobin on CA1 hippocampal neurons

Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells, is known as a nitric oxide (NO) chelating agent. For this reason, hemoglobin has been used widely in studying the role of nitric oxide in long-term potentiation (LTP) and excitotoxicity. However, the direct electrophysiological actions...
