Effect of regional cortical ablations on high-affinity D-aspartate uptake in striatum, olfactory tubercle, and pyriform cortex of the rat.
The ablation of medial frontal cortex, but not of other separate cortical regions, was accompanied by a significant decrease in high affinity uptake of D-Asp in neostriatum, olfactory tubercle and pyriform cortex. The results indicate that the medial frontal cortex may be an important region for glutamergic/aspartergic cell bodies.
