| Comments | P.464 top paragraph: "Surveys of different regions of the brain (primary sources) show that glutamate is present everywhere, but is in higher concentration (10µmol/g) in the forebrain and cerebellum: in various parts of the brainstem, such as the medulla and pons, the concentration is about 50% less." |
