Abstract:
Intracellular recordings were made from glial cells of human and rat spinal cord grown in tissue culture. The membrane potentials of the glial cells were usually higher than those recorded from neurones. Addition of the putative neurotransmitters glycine, GABA, glutamate and aspartate to the bathing fluid in a concentration of 10(-4) M had no effect on the membrane potential of most glial cells tested.
