Calcium entry induced by acetylcholine action on snail neurons

Author:

Abstract

A study was made of excitatory and inhibitory responses elicited by acetylcholine (ACh) in neurons of the snail Eobania vermiculata . At resting potential, ACh evoked a depolarizing inward current in some neurons (D-cells) and a hyperpolarizing current in others (H-cells). The currents elicited by ACh were nonlinearly dependent on membrane potential. After either D- or H-cells were equilibrated in chloride-free isotonic calcium, ACh evoked a depolarizing inward current which reversed sign at about –55 mV. These results suggest that ACh causes an influx of Ca 2+ in both types of neurons.
