6 Foreword The renewal of interest in excitatory amino acids in the 1980s has altered the direction of neurobiology. L-Glutamate, widely regarded as a general perpetuator of nonspecific excitation, has become generally regarded as a widely distributed and important neurotransmitter in the CNS. In the past three decades evidence has accumulated that excitatory amino acids are involved in many neurological diseases and that pharmacological intervention may offer prospects of novel and more effective therapies. Numerous studies on experimental animals demonstrate that excitatory amino acid antagonists have anxiolytic, antiepileptic and muscle relaxant effects. Particular interest has developed in the possible neuroprotective efficacy of excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists in neurological diseases such as hypoxia/ischemia, hypoglycemia, epilepsy, and chronic neurodegenerative disorders (Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and AIDS). Thus, the drugs changing neurotransmission mediated by excitatory amino acids possess potential therapeutic value. This volume is part of the Schering Research Foundation Workshop Series. It is the goal of the Schering Research Foundation to promote the association between industrial and basic research. The support and the organization of highly qualified symposia belong to the armamentarium by which this purpose is fulfilled, and we are convinced that the workshop "Excitatory Amino Acids and Second Messenger Systems" has contributed to this.

7 Preface The Schering Foundation Workshop which took place in Berlin on June 27-28, 1991, succeeded in capturing some of the recent excitement in the search for links between excitatory amino acids and second messenger systems. This book contains the proceedings of this workshop: in it leaders in the field unravel the novel relationships between excitatory amino acids and arachidonic acid, nitric oxide, cyclic nucleotides, inositol phospholipids, the ubiquitous calcium ion and enzymes such as nitric oxide synthase, phospholipases and kinases. The effervescence that characterizes this research clearly signals the advent of a new era in the study of excitatory amino acids. We cannot help but anticipate the establishment, in the not too distant future, of causal relationships between the events initiated at the plasma membranes - by the activation of the ever-increasing number of excitatory amino acid receptor subtypes - and the short- and long-term perturbations of the intracellular activities of neurons and glia. We hope that this book will serve as a catalyst to stimulate further research. Vivian I. Teichberg Lechoslaw Turski
