  1. Cultured hippocampal neurons were incubated for 1h with HDAC inhibitors (HDI) before incubating the cells for 5 min with 50 µM NMDA. Concentrations below and above the ones listed were also tested to reach either no or toxic effect. n.d.q. = no inhibition detected in qualitative analyses; n = number of independently repeated experiments.
