Conductance changes during bath application of beta-alanine and taurine in giant interneurons of the isolated lamprey spinal cord.

Abstract:

:(1) Input conductances of giant interneurons in the isolated spinal cord of lampreys were measured with two separate intracellular electrodes. Bath applications of 0.4--3 mM beta-alanine and taurine produced large, reversible conductance increases which were Cl-dependent. (2) Strychnine at 1--2.5 microM might be a competitive antagonist of both amino acids, but had a stronger effect on taurine. Bicuculline and picrotoxin were weak antagonists of beta-alanine and taurine in some cells. (3) A few giant interneurons desensitized after repeated application of the amino acids, but most became more sensitive. Responses to the amino acids also increase at low temperatures in in Na-free fluid, suggesting effect of uptake mechanisms.
