  • Title: The sensitivity of rat spinal interneurones and renshaw cells to L-glutamate and L-aspartate.
    Author: Biscoe TJ, Headley PM, Lodge D, Martin MR, Watkins JC.
    Journal: Exp Brain Res; 1976 Dec 22; 26(5):547-51. PubMed ID: 1010006.
    Abstract:
    L-Glutamate and L-aspartate were administered electrophoretically near spinal interneurones and Renshaw cells of pentobarbitone-annaesthetized rats. Other spinal interneurones were consistently more sensitive to L-glutamate than to L-aspartate. Renshaw cells, however, showed no consistent difference in their sensitivity to these two amino acids. The results, which are compared with those reported previously in the cat, support the hypothesis that L-glutamate could be a transmitter at spinal primary afferent terminals.
