Effects of iontophoretically released amino acids and amines on primate spinothalamic tract cells
Open accessAbstract
The effects of glutamate (Glu), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine (Gly), serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and acetylcholine (ACh) were examined in this study by iontophoretic application onto primate spinothalamic tract (STT) neurons identified antidromically by stimulation in the contralateral thalamus. Drugs were tested for effects on background activity, Glu-induced firing, and activity evoked by pinching of the skin. Whereas Glu excited STT cells and was thus used for tests of the other compounds, the amino acids GABA and Gly inhibited Glu- and pinch-induced activity in all STT cells examined. STT cells were also inhibited by 5-HT, NE, and DA. Only two cases of excitation by 5-HT were seen (of 58 cells tested). ACh also had inhibitory actions on STT cells, although 3 of 21 cells exhibited some enhancement of activity. The effects of these compounds on identified STT cells resemble previous demonstrations of the effects of these drugs on dorsal horn interneurons. The results suggest that GABA, Gly, 5-HT, NE, and DA may be inhibitory neurotransmitters on nociceptive STT cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
