Extracellular glutamate in the brains of children with severe head injuries: a pilot microdialysis study

To determine, using a microdialysis technique, the extracellular levels of glutamate and non-transmitter amino acids in the brain of children with severe head injuries. A microdialysis probe was inserted along side the intracranial pressure (ICP) bolt in 9 children (age range 2-14 years) with severe...
