Abstract
The effects of competitive (2-amino-phosphonovaleric acid) and noncompetitive (Mg2+, ketamine, kynurenic acid) antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors on synaptic transmission were studied in afferent synapses of the frog semicircular canals. All of these antagonists reduced the rate of background activity in the nerve of posterior semicircular canal by 30-50%, which confirms the presence of glutamate NMDA receptors in the hair cell synapses in the frog semicircular canals.
