摘要: The excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs to parasympathetic preganglionic neurons in the superior salivatory (SS) nucleus were investigated brain slices of neonatal (4-8 days old) rat using whole-cell patch-clamp technique. SS innervating submandibular sublingual salivary glands lingual artery anterior region tongue identified by retrograde transport a fluorescent tracer. Whole-cell currents evoked electrical stimulation tissue surrounding cell. These postsynaptic completely abolished antagonists for N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate, non-NMDA gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA), glycine receptors, suggesting that receive glutamatergic excitatory, GABAergic glycinergic inputs. In glands, ratio NMDA component total current (EPSC) was larger than component. This profile reversed tongue. GABAA IPSC (IPSC). decay time constants slower those glycine. characteristics may be involved determining firing properties
