Rat striatal cells that were excited by cortical stimulation were found to respond to cortical stimulation with an average latency of 12 msec. Each response consisted of a variable number of spikes with, on the average, a less than 1:1 relationship between the stimulus and the number of spikes generated.Iontophoretic application of glutamic acid diethyl ester (GDEE), a substance reported to be a glutamate antagonist, at currents of +50 to +125 nA in the vicinity of neurons excited by cortical stimulation, almost totally suppressed the excitation in 90% of the cells, and this suppression was fully reversible. All cells were excited by glutamate. GDEE also suppressed neuronal excitation produced by iontophoretic aspartate, glutamate anddl-homocysteic acid.It is concluded from this study that an excitatory amino acid, either aspartic or glutamic, may function as the transmitter in the corticostriate projection.
