TY - JOUR AU - Arnone, Nate AU - Johnston, Matt AU - Prekker, Matt PY - 2013/01/25 TI - Extracellular Application Of Trans-1-Amino-1,3-Cyclopentane Dicarboxylic Acid Results In Depression Of Excitatory Junction Potentials Over Time At The Superficial Extensor Muscle In Crayfish JF - Pioneering Neuroscience; Vol 1 (2000) KW - N2 - Trans-1-amino-1,3-cyclopentane dicarboxylic acid (trans-ACPD) is an agonist at metabotropic glutamate receptors. We demonstrate that extracellular application of trans-ACPD inhibits excitatory junction potentials (EJPs) over a period of several seconds at the neuromuscular junction in the superficial extensor muscle of the crayfish. This inhibition appears to be reversible and is possibly related to a change in the presynaptic cellular machinery. UR - https://ojs.grinnell.edu/index.php/pnsj/article/view/182
