Thalamic reticular (RT) neurons are selectively vulnerable to degeneration following global ischemia. The degenerative mechanism is thought to involve an excitotoxic component, mediated in part by sustained post-ischemia activation of AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate) type excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors. In order to test this hypothesis, the selective competitive AMPA type EAA antagonist NBQX (2,3-dihydroxy-6-nitro-7-sulfamoyl-benzo(F)quinoxalinedione) was administered at 30 mg/kg to rats 1, 3, and 6 h after resuscitation from 10 min cardiac arrest. NBQX treatment resulted in a 2-fold increase of spared RT neurons, from a mean density of 3.6 ± 0.8 × 103neurons/mm3in cardiac arrest cases to 7.4 ± 1.1 × 103neurons/mm3in the NBQX treated group, which represents sparing of 41.7% of the normal population of RT neurons, and protection of 26.9% of vulnerable RT neurons. Neurons within the central core of the RT manifest both a higher degree of vulnerability to ischemic degeneration, >92% loss, and a higher sensitivity to sparing following NBQX administration, 460% increased sparing, than neuronal sub-populations in the medial or lateral 1 3 of the RT. Protection by post-arrest administration of NBQX suggests that sustained post-arrest stimulation of AMPA receptors is an important component in the process of ischemic degeneration of RT neurons.
