Water distribution in incubated slices of brain and other tissues.
TLDR
With glutamate or high potassium in the medium, swelling is increased and the non-thiocyanate, non-sucrose, and non-inulin spaces increase correspondingly, and this increase is apparently intracellular.Abstract:
Slices of rat cerebral cortex swell about 40% during one hour's aerobic incubation in bicarbonate-buffered medium. Thiocyanate or sucrose added to the medium equilibrate with part of the tissue flu...read more

The hyperexcited brain: glutamic acid release and failure of inhibition.
TL;DR: There no longer exists much doubt that epilepsy is associated with a rather specific set of biochemical alterations, but considerable controversy still surrounds the significance of these alterations, touching on several areas of importance.

Ion fluxes in the central nervous system.
TL;DR: This chapter critically reviews recent studies on ion fluxes in brain tissue and discusses the basic mathematical relations governing ion movements across single cell boundaries and the preliminary conclusions drawn from the results are presented.
