              and outside-out patches indicated that functional NMDA channels
              are expressed on neurons within the cortical plate, but not on
              younger cells within the ventricular zone. The NMDA channels on
              cortical plate neurons had a unitary conductance of approximately
              40 pS, had a mean open time of approximately 6 msec, required
              glycine to open, and were blocked in a voltage-dependent manner
              by magnesium. These precocious channels were present before the
              appearance of functional synaptic activity, yet like NMDA
              channels in the mature neocortex, they were spontaneously
              activated by an agonist within brain slices. These results
              demonstrate that NMDA channels are initially expressed on
              neocortical neurons some time between the last mitotic division
              within the ventricular zone and completion of migration into the
              cortical plate. These early NMDA channels have properties
              characteristic of NMDA channels on more mature neurons and are
              similarly activated by an endogenous agonist in situ. Their early
              appearance and activation indicate that NMDA channels may play a
              role during early stages of cortical development.",
