Abstract
SINGLE afferent unit recording in microampullae of the catfish reveale d that bath-applied AMPA increases both resting discharge frequency an d electrically evoked responses. The potency of AMPA is of the order o f 10 mu M. DNQX strongly inhibits the excitatory effects of AMPA. The results suggest the presence of AMPA receptors at the synaptic membran e of ampullary electroreceptor organs in the catfish.
