    Glutamic acid-insensitive [3H]kainic acid binding in goldfish brain

    Kainic acid is supposed to be a specific agonist for a subclass of excitatory glutamate receptors in the vertebrate CNS. An investigation of (2 nM) [3H]kainic acid binding sites in goldfish brain, using quantitative autoradiography, has revealed evidence for two types of kainic acid receptors which differ in sensitivity to glutamic acid. -Glutamic acid (0.1-1 mM) displaced over 95% of specific [3H]kainic acid binding elsewhere in the brain but only 10-50% in the cerebellum and cerebellar crest. These structures apparently contain [3H]kainic acid binding sites that are extremely insensitive to glutamic acid. The glutamic acid-insensitive [3H]kainic acid bindings was not displaced by quisqualic acid kynurenic acid, [alpha]-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), or , but was completely displaced by the kainic acid analogue domoic acid. The data indicate that two types of high affinity binding sites for [3H]kainic acid exist in the goldfish brain: glutamic acid-sensitive and glutamic acid-insensitive. High affinity [3H]kainic acid binding may therefore not always represent binding to subsets of glutamic acid receptors.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/30240/1/0000634.pd

    In this paper the existence of a global attracting set for the weakly unstable Kuramoto-Sivashinskyequation @ t U (x; t) = (\Gamma@ 4 x \Gamma 2@ 2 x \Gamma (1 \Gamma " 2 ))U (x; t) \Gamma @ x U (x; t)U (x; t) is proved for initial data which are antisymmetric with respect to the origin and have the period L. The diameter of the set is bounded in L 2 and the bound depends only on L and " : lim sup t!1 kU (:; t)k L 2 K(" 8 5 L 8 5 + "L 3 2 ) 1 Introduction In this paper we will study the long-time behavior of the weakly unstable Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation @ t U(x; t) = \Gamma(@ 4 x + @ 2 x + 1 \Gamma " 2 )U(x; t) \Gamma @ x U(x; t)U(x; t) (1) in space dimension 1 by using the method of Collet, Eckmann, Epstein and Stubbe [CEES]. In the paper [CEES] it is shown that if the initial data belongs to L 2 per [\Gamma L 2 ; L 2 ] then the KS-equation @ t U(x; t) = \Gamma(@ 4 x + @ 2 x )U(x; t) \Gamma @ x U(x; t)U(x; t) (2) has a global attracting se..
