Summary

It is observed that under control conditions, in zero nominal Zn2+ solutions, the addition of low concentrations of heavy metal chelators markedly potentiates the responses of NR1a–NR2A receptors, but not ofNR1a-NR2B receptors, which suggests that traces of a heavy metal contaminate standard solutions and tonically inhibit NR1 a–NR 2A receptors.
