Chronic treatment with EGb 761 in mice created histological changes in the hippocampus (Barkats et al. 1995). Increases are seen in the projection field of hippocampal mossy fibers and a reduction in the area of the stratum radiatum. These changes are hypothesized to result from...

In the hippocampus, presynaptic P2X2 receptors mediated increases in the frequencies of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents in stratum radiatum intemeu-rons, but not in pyramidal neurons (Khakh et al. 2003). Glutamate release from hippocampal mossy fibers, in contrast, was found to be inhibited by P2X7 receptor activation (Armstrong et al. 2002).

DDC injection can be attenuatg with immediate posttrial intraventricular injections of norepinephrine. It should be noted that although these collective results are consistent with the view that the effects of DDC on memory are a consequence of the decrease in norepinephrine concentrations, there are other effects of the drug which may be important as we. For example, DDC produces a short-term increase in whole brain dopamine and, because DDC chelates zinc, the drug injection resultsg n bleaching of a sulfide silver stain in the hippocampal mossy fibers. It is there-...
