Isolated cerebral tissues in simple, oxygenated glucose salines reproduce many characteristics ofthe tissue in 8itu. In particular, energy-rich compounds are in part resynthesized, and this discovery encouraged search for in vitro counterparts to excitation. Metabolic responses to electrical stimulation were indeed found (McIlwain, 1951) but were not
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
