Functional Organization of Glutamatergic Synapses,w attention to this “nonessential” amino acid by suggesting its importance in cerebral metabolism (Quastel and Wheatley, 1932). In the ensuing years, the neurochemical importance of glutamate was traced mainly to several metabolic processes: (1) oxidative deamination to α-oxoglutarate, (2) transamin

Both Glu and Asp are present in large quantities in brain nervous tissue (about 10 and 2 mM, respectively) (Berl and Waelsch, 1958; Perry e.., 1981; Schousboe .., 1975); Glu is released from several cortical areas following stimulation of a
