    Notes: Summary Methylazoxymethanol (MAM), a powerful antimitotic, has been extensively used to affect rodent CNS development. Here we show that MAM causes different effects on mouse cerebellum depending on the age of the injected pup. Sublethal doses were determined for each age. A single injection at birth permanently reduces the number of cells. In addition, the cytoarchitecture was greatly perturbed: Purkinje cells retained an immature aspect and were dispersed through the cerebellar cortex. A single dose of MAM injected into 5 day old mice also affected the number of cells but, at the level of light microscopy, the cytoarchitecture of the cerebellar cortex appeared not to be altered. Purkinje cells, however, showed some immaturity and degenerated around the 22nd postnatal day. This modulation of MAM effect appears to provide a good model for studying cerebellar ontogeny and neuronal plasticity.

    Notes: Abstract Depolarization-elicited release of neurotransmitter glutamate was studied in rat cerebellar slices previously loaded with either [3H]l-glutamate or [3H]l-glutamine. Both depolarization conditions used (e.g. long-lasting tonic depolarization elicited by veratridine, or short repetive electrical pulses) increased 6 to 8 folds the release of labelled glutamate and of another compound, presumably alpha-ketoglutarate, without modifying the release of labeled glutamine. Because of the position of the label in the precursor radioactive molecules, GABA was weakly labeled and aspartate was unlabeled. The properties of the evoked glutamate release from cerebellar slices were those of a neurotransmitter since it was inhibited by tetrodotoxin and was Ca2+-dependent. Alpha-ketoglutarate is either coreleased from nerve terminals or is released from astrocytes and could participate in glutamate recycling. The data confirm the generally accepted model implying the presence of two neurotransmitter glutamate pools, a neuronal pool of newly synthesized glutamate and an astrocytic storage pool, but in addition indicate that the former is in rapid isotopic equilibrium with the extracellular compartment. Our present results also indicate that the glutamate/glutamine cycle is not activated in depolarizing conditions.
