Abstract
Excessive concentration of some amino-acids have recently been found to injure neurons in the central nervous system [2]. Similar injuries to the nervous system seem to occur in patients with head injury due to excessive release of amino-acids from the lesion in the brain into the extracellular space or the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space. We investigated the relationship between changes in electrical activity and in concentrations of amino-acids in the CSF during edema formation after a brain contusion. We constructed a model of a cat brain with a cold injury to clarify the relationship.
