Adenosine decreases aspartate and glutamate release from rat hippocampal slices

TLDR
The hypothesis that adenosine modulates the electrophysiological responses to stimulation of stratum radiatum through a reduction of the release of the excitatory amino acids aspartate and glutamate is supported.

Mechanisms of neuropathic pain

TL;DR: The majority of research into neuropathic pain mechanisms has concentrated on changes in the peripheral nerve or spinal cord after peripheral nerve injury and most available evidence relates to changes in these parts of the nervous system and the review will, therefore, focus on these aspects.

Adenosine receptor activation and nociception

TL;DR: An understanding of the contribution of adenosine to pain processing is important for understanding how caffeine produces adjuvant analgesic properties in some situations, but might interfere with the optimal benefit to be derived from others.

Extracellular Adenosine, Inosine, Hypoxanthine, and Xanthine in Relation to Tissue Nucleotides and Purines in Rat Striatum During Transient Ischemia

TL;DR: The high EC levels of adenosine during ischemia may turn off spontaneous neuronal firing, counteract excitotoxicity, and inhibit ischemic calcium uptake, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adenosine inhibits evoked synaptic transmission primarily by reducing presynaptic calcium influx in area CA1 of hippocampus.

TL;DR: Adenosine, through activation of presynaptic A1 receptors, inhibits the fEPSP primarily by reducing the Ca2+ transient, suggesting a tonic inhibition of the [Ca]t by endogenous adenosine in the hippocampal slice.

Unit analysis of hippocampal population spikes

TL;DR: It is concluded that over a wide range the height of the population spike is an increasing function of the number of discharging cells and can thus be used as a measure of the extent to which an afferent volley discharges a cell population.
