Objective: The source and quality of information about depression available on the Internet were examined.
Methods: Online searches using the phrase "depression and treatment" were conducted on ten major Internet search engines. The first 20 sites generated by each engine were examined.
We used quantitative autoradiography to determine whether the development of glutamate receptors correlates with the plastic period for monocular deprivation in rat visual cortex. To study glutamate receptors, we incubated sections of rat visual cortex with tritiated (+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]-cyclohepten-5,10imin e maleate (MK-801), tritiated kainate, and tritiated amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA). [3H]MK-801 is a noncompetitive ligand for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor.
