An analysis of the EPSPs recorded intracellularly from single fibres of the VIII nerve revealed that the resting release of chemical transmitter at the cyto-neural junctions in the sensory organ of frog semicircular canals displays a rather low temperature dependence. This provides evidence that, in labyrinthine receptors, the resting activity is actually "evoked" in nature. A comparison between the discharge of EPSPs and propagated spikes in the VIII nerve fibres has shown that the "encoders" of primary vestibular neurones are highly sensitive to temperature changes and irreversibly damaged at temperatures exceeding 28 degrees C.

Abstract
An analysis of the EPSPs recorded intracellularly from single fibres of the VIII nerve revealed that the resting release of chemical transmitter at the cyto-neural junctions in the sensory organ of frog semicircular canals displays a rather low temperature dependence. This provides evidence that, in labyrinthine receptors, the resting activity is actually "evoked" in nature. A comparison between the discharge of EPSPs and propagated spikes in the VIII nerve fibres has shown that the "encoders" of primary vestibular neurones are highly sensitive to temperature changes and irreversibly damaged at temperatures exceeding 28 degrees C.File in questo prodotto:
