Intracellular recordings were obtained from medial vestibular nuclei neurones (MVNn) in guinea-pig brainstem slices. Two main distinct neuronal classes were encountered. Type A MVNn (32.3%) were characterized by a broad action potential followed by a deep single afterhyperpolarization, a transient A

In the preceding paper, medial vestibular nuclei neurones (MVNn) were shown to belong to two main classes, A MVNn and B MVNn, depending on their membrane properties in brainstem slices. In the following study we attempted to confirm this segregation by studying some of the ionic conductances that th
The responses of single guinea pig medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) neurons in vitro to adrenocorticotropic hormone, fragment 4-10 (ACTH4-10) were recorded extracellularly. In coronal slices and in the isolated MVN, neurons were found which responded to ACTH4-10 at picomolar concentrations (10(-12)M)
The influence of locomotor activity upon neurons in the lateral vestibular nucleus was investigated in precollicularly-postmamillary decerebrate guinea pigs. Out of 95 recorded neurons, 24 were identified as vestibulospinal and 71 had no descending projections. Locomotor activity occurred either spo
