Physiologists have been aware of the excitatory action of L-glutamate on vertebrate CNS
neurons for over 30 years, yet characterization of the mechanism of action of excitatory …

Since the late 197Os, drastic advances have been made in the field of peripheral auditory
research. Among these are the results from intracellular hair cell recording (138, 572, 573) …

This work reviews the neuropharmacology of the vestibular system, with an emphasis on the
mechanism of action of drugs used in the treatment of vestibular disorders. Otolaryngologists …

Locomotion is associated with a number of optical consequences that degrade visual
information processing in the absence of appropriate compensatory movements. The …

Gentamicin is toxic to vestibular hair cells, but its effects on vestibular afferents have not
been defined. We treated anesthetized chinchillas with one injection of gentamicin (26.7 …

Hair cells in mechanosensory systems transduce mechanical stimuli into biological signals
to be presented to and analyzed by the brain. Vestibular hair cells transduce stimuli primarily …

There are several excellent reviews of excitatory amino acid involvement in
neurotransmission, though in general these concern themselves to a large extent with the …

Spontaneous neural activity has been recorded in the auditory nerve of cats as early as 2
days postnatal (P2), yet individual auditory neurons do not respond to ambient sound …

In the halothane-anesthetized paralyzed rat, electrical or chemical stimulation of lateral
hypothalamic sites dorsolateral to the fornix produced pressor effects, increases in lumbar …

This work reviews the neuropharmacology of the vestibular system, with an emphasis on the
mechanism of action of drugs used in the treatment of vestibular disorders. Clinicians are …
