Electrophysiological demonstration of N-methyl- d-aspartate receptors at the afferent synapse of catfish electroreceptor organs

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 catfish Ictalurus nebulosus. In the present study, we have used an electrophysiological approach to investigate the p...
