The Gain Modulation by N-methyl-D-aspartate in the Projection Neurons of Robust Nucleus of the Arcopallium in Adult Zebra Finches

<table>The effect of CNQX on the gain induced by NMDA in RA projection neurons. The results were obtained with NMDA (20 <i>μ</i>M), NMDA (20 <i>μ</i>M) in the presence of bicuculline methiodide (BIC, 10 <i>μ</i>M), NMDA (20 <i>μ</i>M) in the presence of CNQX (10 <i>μ</i>M), NMDA (20 <i>μ</i>M) in the presence of BIC (10 <i>μ</i>M), and CNQX (10 <i>μ</i>M). The slopes were normalized to those of controls. The broken line indicates the level of control (100%). The number of cells in each group is given in parentheses. <svg height="11.375" id="M21" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 58.712502 11.375" width="58.712502" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
