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...
