Angiotensin II in the hippocampus. A histochemical and electrophysiological study

Abstract
The presence of the renin angiotensin system in the hippocampus is shown by immunohistochemistry. Intra- and extra-cellular recordings revealed that angiotensin II and III excite CA 1 pyramidal cells by disinhibition. The effect is antagonized by [Sar1, Thr8]-A II.
