  • Title: [Effect of calcium deficiency and addition of calcium antagonists on motoneuron synaptic potentials of isolated Emys orbicularis turtle spinal cord].
    Author: Batueva IV.
    Journal: Zh Evol Biokhim Fiziol; 1980; 16(4):365-70. PubMed ID: 6252732.
    Abstract:
    In experiments carried out on the isolated spinal cord of the tortoise Emys orbicularis postsynaptic potentials produced in spinal motoneurons by stimulation of the descending tracts and dorsal roots were investigated by means of the intracellular recording technique. Postsynaptic potentials were completely and reversibly blocked in Ca2+-free solutions containing 5.0 mM Mg2+ or 2.0 mM Mn2+. The amplitude and frequency of spontaneous synaptic potentials were also reduced under these conditions. The effect of Ca2+-free medium indicates that the synaptic transmission in these synapses is mediated by chemical mechanism.
