Using multiunit recording of action potentials from the whole nerve with the aid of external
perfusion, we investigated the effects of dopamine (DOP) agonists that are involved in …

Vestibular receptors of the frog, Rana temporaria, were examined for the effect of bath-applied
opioid peptide leu-enkephalin, its synthetic analogue dalargin and the specific opiate …

THE perception of the Earth's magnetic field by vertebrates for orientation purposes has
been discussed for over a century 1–4 . New approaches to this, still unsolved, problem were …

An excitatory amino acid, most probably l-glutamate, acts as a neurotransmitter at the
receptor cell–afferent fibre synapses in the ampullary electroreceptor organs of the freshwater …

Evoked and neuronal responses in the area acustico-lateralis to electrical and magnetic
stimulation of ampullae of Lorenzini were studied in the anaesthetised Black Sea skate,Trygon …

Using immunocytochemistry and multiunit recording of afferent activity of the whole vestibular
nerve, we investigated the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) in the afferent …

Ampullary electroreceptors of the freshwater catfish, Ictalurus nebulosus, were examined for
the effects of bath-applied l-glutamate (l-GLU) and its agonists quisqualate (Q), kainate (KA) …

The effects of chemical, thermal stimuli, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and L-glutamate (L-GLU) on resting
and evoked activity of the ampullae of Lorenzini of the skate were studied. The diluted sea …

Synaptic Transmission in the Mechano- and Electroreceptors of the Acousticolateral System
Page 1 Synaptic Transmission in the Mechano- and Electroreceptors of the Acousticolateral …

Electroreception is a well-established sensory faculty in aquatic vertebrates. The general
physiology of the receptor organs is comprehensively documented. The transduction …
