Real-time measures of extracellular glutamate can be recorded using MEAs. (A) Typical traces measuring resting glutamate levels in kindled (
) and control (
) animals. (B) Spontaneous transient glutamate peaks in DG of kindled (
) and control (
) rats with amplitude and time indicated. Concentration of glutamate is calculated by multiplying the recorded current by the slope obtained during calibration of the electrode. Calibrations are performed as described previously (Burmeister & Gerhardt, 2001).
