Abstract
L-glutamate is shown to have excitatory effects on muscles of the lamellibranch, Pecten and of several cephalopods. These effects are reversibly blocked by known glutamate antagonists. In Pecten intracellular electrical recording revealed a similarity between the effects of topically applied glutamate and nerve stimulation.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
