Abstract
The expression of NMDA R1 receptor mRNA in the rat and guinea-pig vest ibular ganglion was examined using in situ hybridization histochemistr y. Most of the ganglion cells of both species were strongly labelled, supporting the view that NMDA-type glutamate receptors may be involved in the vestibular afferent neurotransmission.
