Abstract
In the rat, iontophoretically applied serotonin substantially attenuated the excitation of locus coeruleus neurons evoked by iontophorectic glutamate but not that elicited by acetylcholine. These results occurred independently of serotonin's variable effects on spontaneous discharge, and indicate a neuromodulatory role of serotonin in locus coeruleus.
Translated title of the contribution | Serotonin selectively decreases glutamate-induced excitation of locus coeruleus neurons |
