VOLTAGE-ACTIVATED sodium currents (I-Na) in vestibular ganglion neurones acutely isolated from postnatal mice were investigated using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Under recording conditions designed to allow the complete isolation of I-Na depolarizations from a holding potential of -80 mV revealed a fast inactivating inward current which was activated around -60 mV and exhibited maximum peak current around -30 mV. This current was eliminated when the cells were perifused with a Na+-free solution and almost totally blocked by application of 100 nM tetrodotoxin (TTX). These properties identify this inward current as TTX-sensitive I-Na. The half-maximum activation potential of I-Na was -46 mV and its half-maximum inactivation potential was -69 mV. This is the first report of voltage-activated sodium currents in vestibular primary neurones.
