Spinal Neurones

The excitation of some neurones in the spinal cord of rats by L-glutamate and L-aspartate is followed by a period of reduced excitability. This effect is not observed after excitation by D-glutamate nor, in the case of Renshaw cells, by acetylcholine. The depressions following L-glutamate were reduced by bicuculline and those after aspartate by strychnine, suggesting that they may have been caused through decarboxylation of the excitatory amino acids to yield the inhibitory compounds γ-aminobutyric acid and β-alanine, respectively.
