| In the isolated chick retina, human neocortical tissue and cat brain, NMDA receptor antagonists block SD completely. By contrast, in rat hippocampus, glutamate and Ca2+ facilitate SD initiation, whereas NMDA antagonists and low Ca2+]o delay its onset but fail to block SD completely. Given the widespread potential signaling capacities of Ca2+ waves, observations of the interactions between astrocytes and neurons in cell culture have suggested that Ca2+ waves play a role in SD initiation and propagation.
Both volume-activated ion channels and glial cells probably play important roles in the restoration of normal cellular homeostasis. The former are stimulated during cell swelling, and the latter provide spatial buffering that prevents increased levels of [K+]o and [Glu−]o during normal neuronal activity. However, they might also prolong SD: volume-activated ion channels release glutamate during SD; and although gliotoxins prolong SD, they also reduce glutamate efflux from glial cells. SD appears more difficult to evoke in brains of larger animals in which the ratio of glia to neurones tends to be higher, suggesting that glial cells are important for limiting SD activity. Such limiting forces might be greater in the more complexly folded human brain, and could explain the paucity of literature accounts of SD during neurosurgery. |

Both volume-activated ion channelsj,k and glial cells probably play important roles in the restoration of normal cellular homeostasis. The former are stimulated during cell swelling, and the latter provide spatial buffering that prevents increased levels of [K+]o and [Glu−]o during normal neuronal activity. However, they might also prolong CSD: volume-activated ion channels release glutamate during CSD (Ref. l); and although gliotoxins prolong CSD (Ref. m), they also reduce glutamate efflux from glial cellsn. CSD and PID appear more difficult to evoke in brains of larger animals in which the ratio of glia to neurones tends to be higher, suggesting that glial cells are important for limiting CSD activityo. Such limiting forces might be greater in the more complexly folded human brain, and could explain the paucity of literature accounts of CSD during neurosurgery. |
