title: Functional significance of cyclic AMP secretion in cerebral cortex.
abstract: Cyclic AMP secretion in response to beta adrenergic receptor stimulation has been demonstrated in glioma-derived cell lines, in cerebral cortex in dissociated cell culture, and in the frontal cortex of living animals. The possible functions of cAMP secretion are considered; in particular, a role for this phenomenon in mediating some of the actions of norepinephrine as a neuromodulator in cerebral cortex.
