RESUMO
1. In experiments examining the possibility that an excitatory amino acid may be an optic nerve transmitter in mammals, excitatory amino acid antagonists have been ionophoretically applied to cells in layers A and A1 of the cat dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and their effect on the excitatory response to visual stimulation of the receptive field centre has been assessed.
