Abstract：
:In order to investigate the localization and the type(s) of excitatory amino acid receptors in the frog vestibular system, the exogenous amino acid agonists Quisqualic acid, Kainic acid and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid were tested on the sensory organ of semicircular canals. Intracellular recordings of the resting discharge from single afferents showed that these agonists exerted a complex excitatory action consisting in a rapid and brief increase in frequency of both EPSPs and spikes, followed by a slower and longer lasting membrane depolarization. The progressive impairment of natural transmitter release achieved by adding Mg2+ or Co2+ in the bath caused a dose-dependent decrease of the agonist-induced afferent discharge, without substantially affecting axonal depolarization. These results suggest that the exogenous amino acid agonists act both pre- and postsynaptically on the vestibular organs. Quisqualic acid and kainic acid were much more potent than N-methyl-D-aspartic acid in inducing excitatory effects, suggesting that the amino acid receptors located on both hair cells and afferent endings are mainly of the non-NMDA type. The present findings, while not excluding that an excitatory amino acid may be the afferent transmitter, highlight its possible function as a presynaptic modulator of the afferent transmission in the frog vestibular system.
