| Abstract | 1. Changes in resting membrane potential induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) have been measured in the excised ganglion by the sucrose-gap technique. 2. 5-HT produced a rapid depolarization, the threshold concentration for depolarization being around 10 muM. With concentrations of 100 muM or greater, repolarization began during the course of the superfusion; this was followed by prolonged tachyphylaxis. 3. Tachyphylaxis was largely avoided by making injections into the superfusion stream. Standard injections of 0.2 mumol 5-HT dissolved in 0.2 ml of Krebs solution were used routinely and could be given at 20-30 min intervals to evoke relatively constant responses. 4. The response to an injection consisted of a rapid depolarization, followed by a rapid repolarization and subsequent after-hyperpolarization. The threshold quantity for depolarization was around 0.01 mumol, while the ED50 estimated from 6 dose-response curves was 0.12 +/- 0.02 mumol (mean +/- s.e. mean). 5. Injections of 5-HT (0.2 mumol), choline (10 mumol) and acetylcholine (9.9 mumol) produced depolarizations of similar magnitude. 6. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors failed to alter substantially the amplitude of depolarizations to 5-HT. 7. 5-HT depolarizations were unaltered in amplitude when the impermeant anion benzenesulphonate was substituted for the chloride ion in Krebs solution, but were initially markedly reduced in amplitude in a sodium-deficient medium; some recovery of the response subsequently occurred. The depolarization which persisted in sodium-deficient solutions was much reduced or abolished when calcium ions were then removed from the superfusion medium. Removal of either calcium ions alone or potassium ions from the superfusion fluid did not reduce depolarization amplitude. 8. The after-hyperpolarization was abolished in sodium-deficient solutions, usually increased in potassium-free solutions, reduced or abolished by ouabain or nicotine, but unaffected by calcium free solutions. 9. A depolarizing action of 5-HT on presynaptic terminals in the ganglion appears probable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
