Long-term potentiation in rat hippocampal slices is impaired following acute lead perfusion.

Orthodromically evoked field potentials were recorded in the CA1 region of hippocampal slices while perfusing the slices with media containing lead acetate. High-frequency stimulation (HFS) was applied to the stratum radiatum during lead perfusion. In half of the slices investigated, HFS resulted in an initial increase of the evoked responses which decayed again after about 10 min. In the other half the evoked responses increased only after the washout of lead and this potentiation was comparable to untreated controls. The lead-induced depression of the long-term potentiation might be related to the behavioral deficits observed in chronically lead-exposed mammals.

Epidemiology of Cryptococcus neoformans.

The concept of the epidemiology of Cryptococcus neoformans as the causative agent of cryptococcosis and as a basidiomycetous yeast is based on the fact that bird manure has been until now its only known habitat but not plant material which likewise harbours various nonpathogenic Cryptococcus species. It could be shown that the possible influence of nutritional factors on the morphology and morphogenesis earns attention not only in view of the epidemiology of C. neoformans but of its perfect states, too.
