Blockade of α2-adrenoceptors induces Arc gene expression in rat brain in a glutamate receptor-dependent manner: a combined qPCR, in situ hybridisation and immunocytochemistry study.
Studies of 5-HT-glutamate interactions suggest that activation of brain 5-HT(2A) receptors leads to an AMPA receptor-mediated induction of the immediate early (activity-dependent) gene, Arc (Arg3.1). In this respect, noradrenaline-glutamate interactions are poorly characterised. Here we investigated...
