A model of ischemic cell death in immature oligodendrocytes; ischemia leads to the release of glutamate from cells via reverse transport. The buildup of xtracellular glutamate resulted in the gating of Ca2+-permeable non-NMDA glutamate receptors resulting in the influx of Ca2+ and cell death, with some glutamate feeding back on the cell that released it (13).
