    NRG, University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine, Canada
    Brain Res Bull 44:603-10. 1997
    ..Thus, ibogaine and Voacanga africana extract may produce their central effects by altering dopaminergic and glutamatergic processes...

    Q J Pittman
    Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
    Exp Physiol 85:139S-143S. 2000
    ..We discuss the possible significance of these results in terms of the physiological role of oxytocin in the intact animal and suggest possible avenues for further experimentation...

    Q J Pittman
    Neuroscience Research Group, University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
    Prog Brain Res 119:311-20. 1998
    ..We have also observed actions of arginine vasopressin to modulate the action of glutamate in slices of the ventral septal area and to attenuate a glutamate-mediated excitatory postsynaptic current in slices of the parabrachial nucleus...

    M Hirasawa
    Neuroscience Research Group, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
    J Physiol 532:595-607. 2001
    ..Therefore, dendritically released oxytocin acts mainly via a mechanism involving the N-type channel, and to a lesser extent the P/Q-type channel, to decrease excitatory transmission...
