      Citation Excerpt :

      By hyperpolarizing the postsynaptic membrane to −80 mV the second, inhibitory component was eliminated, and VD4 stimulation by the same parameters evoked an excitatory response (Fig. 1B). On replacing the bathing solution to a modified (HiDi) saline with an elevated concentration of Mg2+ and Ca2+, the polysynaptic pathways activated by presynaptic stimulation were mostly inhibited (Berry and Pentreath, 1976). As a result, the synaptic responses on the RPeD1 follower were reduced, and each of the presynaptic action potentials evoked on the VD4 neuron were followed by single excitatory postsynaptic potentials (sEPSPs) on the postsynaptic neuron (Fig. 1C).
