Electrophysiological characterization of 5-HT receptors on rat petrosal neurons in dissociated cell culture
Abstract
The petrosal ganglion supplies chemoafferent pathways via the glossopharyngeal (IXth) nerve to peripheral targets which release various neurotransmitters including serotonin (5-HT). Here, we combined rapid 5-HT application with patch clamp, whole-cell recording to investigate whether 5-HT receptors are expressed on isolated petrosal neurons (PN), cultured from 7-12 day-old rat pups. In responsive cells, the dominant effect of 5-HT was a rapid …
