Abstract:
Desensitization of spinal cord interneurons to prolonged application of glutamate was found to occur in 30% of the neurons tested. The response of the same neurons to aspartate was unaffected by prior desensitization to glutamate, suggesting the existence of separate receptors for these two amino acids.
