Dear Dr. Olney

Would you favor me with reprints of your work (including your
earlier studies) on neurotoxicity of slutagic acid?

Do you have a literature checklist of analogous effects of
other amino acids?

It strikes me that the susceptibility of hypothalamic target
cells to overdosgge may have some relationship to a normal function
as sensors of glutamate blood levels -- tompsare the susceptibility
of target cells to estrogens.

Have ypu or anyone else looked at the effects of neonatal over=,
loads of glucose or sucrose?

Yours sincerely,

G Joshua Lederberg
