- Okay, now that nitric oxide has finally made the cover of several national
- magazines--- what's this I hear about carbon monoxide? Sorry if I've been a
- bit myopic, but I just heard about the existence of a carbon monoxide synthase
- that's located in hippocampal pyramidal cells among other places. Moreover, I
- understand that carbon monoxide blocks LTP in slices. Is this true? Can
- anybody give me a citation on this stuff? I scanned through our miniMedline
- and found no mention of any article yet. I checked under Solomon Snyder,
- Charles Stevens, and Ajay Verma.
-
- Can anyone help me out with this? A free smilie to the first person to get me
- the correct citation! ;-) I think Stevens did the slice experiments. Thanks
- to all in advance!

- P.S. Apologies to all those who might be infuriated by requests such as this
- one, but I think pretty much everybody is interested by this new class of
- neurotransmitters...
