  • Title: Mode of synaptic transmission between vestibular afferents and neurons of the vestibular nucleus in the frog.
    Author: Babalian AL, Shapovalov AI.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1984 Aug 20; 309(1):163-7. PubMed ID: 6091845.
    Abstract:
    Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) were evoked in vestibular neurons of the isolated frog brainstem by stimulation of the ipsilateral vestibular nerve or by direct intra-axonal activation of single vestibular fibers. Composite as well as single-fiber EPSPs usually displayed two components. A Ca2+-deficient, Mn2+-containing solution abolished the delayed chemical components of the EPSPs, but did not affect the short latency responses suggesting a dual (electrical-chemical) mode of transmission between some vestibular afferents and vestibular neurons.
