Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Responses of neurons in rat hippocampal neuron-glial cell cultures to the application of selective AMPAR agonist, 5-fluorowillardiine (FW, 500 nM) in the absence and presence of the blocker of voltage-gated calcium channels (verapamil, 300 μM) and NMDAR and KAR antagonists (D-AP5, 10 μM and UBP310, 10 μM, respectively). Red curves: neurons containing CP-AMPARs; grey curves: other neurons. B. Effect of NASPM (selective antagonist of CP-AMPARs, 30 μM) on the [Ca 2+ ] i elevation induced by AMPAR activation in neurons containing CP-AMPARs.
