J Neurochem 1996; 67:2379-2389. Our laboratory has focused on mechanisms of ionic injury that occur during recovery from simulated ischemic conditions. These experiments show that rapid restoration of intracellular pH by sodium/hydrogen exchangers could be an important mechanism of reperfusion injury in neurons.

While glutamate receptors do not play an important role in the short term electrical recovery of the optic nerve, this study suggests that glutamate could injure the oligodendrocytes of white matter under some circumstances.

This report extends previous observations in the optic nerve preparations to a class of sodium channel blockers currently in clinical use as cardiac antiarrhythmic drugs. There is also the first step in demonstrating in vivo activity of these drugs.

J Neurosci 1997; 17:3538-3553. Tymanski and his collaborators have used calcium chelators to investigate precisely how calcium flux and concentration changes contribute to neuronal injury. Here, using organotypic cultures, evidence is presented that presynaptic calcium changes are critical.

J Neurosci 1996; 16:5004-5013. This paper is another important contribution to our understanding of the indirect mechanisms responsible for glutamate release. Using striatal cultures, contributions of nitric oxide and sodium channels were shown to contribute to persistent NMDA receptor mediated injury.
