spinal cord slice preparation and intracellular recording techniques were used to examine the effects of phorbol esters on the sodium- and calcium-dependent action potentials , the excitatory synaptic transmission , the basal ( resting ) and the dorsal root stimulation-evoked release of 9 endogenous amino acids , including glutamate and aspartate , and the responsiveness of the rat dorsal horn neurons to excitatory amino acids ( glutamic , kainic , quisqualic , and n-methyl-d-aspartic ) .
