  • Title: Amino acids and the spikes from the retinal ganglion cells.
    Author: Kishida K, Naka KI.
    Journal: Science; 1967 May 05; 156(3775):648-50. PubMed ID: 6023657.
    Abstract:
    The effects of amino acids or mixtures of amino acids on the spike discharges from the optic ganglion cells were studied. Mixtures of amino acids have different effects than single amino acids. Proper composition of excitatory and inhibitory amino acids can enhance only the light-induced spikes without giving rise to any spontaneous discharges. It is implied that amino acids may play an important role in the regulation of the general sensitivity of cells in the central nervous system.
