The responses to excitatory and inhibitory amino acids and peptides were investigated in isolated rat spinal dorsal horn neurons (laminae I-V) of young rats using the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. The treatment of spinal slices with low concentrations of enzymes and mechanical dissociation yielded isolated neurons that were sensitive to excitatory amino acids (glutamate, kainate, quisqualate and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), inhibitory amino acids (.gamma.-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine) and peptides (substance P, calcitonin gene-reached peptide (CGRP). The responses of dorsal horn neurons to NMDA were potentiated by glycine and CGRP, whereas GABAA responses were enhanced by .alpha.-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA). Our observation indicate that there is reasonable agreement between many of the responses of isolated neurons and those studied in in vivo slice and culture preparations.
