Abstract

In this paper, we will (I) review the available evidence suggesting that homocysteic acid might be an excitatory transmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and (II) report preliminary results on extracellular changes of excitatory amino acid (EAA) concentration in human epileptic foci.
