Hypoxic injury of isolated axons is independent of ionotropic glutamate receptors

Axonal injury in white matter is an important consequence of many acute neurological diseases including ischemia. A role for glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity is suggested by observations from in vitro and in situ models that AMPA/kainate blockers can reduce axonal injury. We assessed axonal vulnera...
