We investigated in anesthetized (urethane 1.5 g/kg ip), paralyzed and ventilated rats, the effect of the glutamic acid (1-Glu) antagonist, glutamic acid diethyl ester (GDEE), on the excitation of neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS), characterized as ‘cardiovascular’(CV) by their capacity to modify their firing rate in response to vagal stimulation and to baroreceptor stimulation produced by elevating blood pressure by norepinephrine (NE). Using an extracellular recording technique, we analyzed the effect of vagus stimulation on 75 cells in the medulla. Vagal stimulation modified the activity of 60/75 units. Thirty-three of the 60 responsive neurons increased, while 27 decreased their firing rate during vagal stimulation. In 10 cells excited by vagal stimulation:(a) the latency of the first recorded spike varied between 3–6 ms (x= 4.2 ms);(b) the latency to repeated stimulus presentation was unstable;(c) neuronal activity was increased by baroreceptor stimulation elicited by elevating arterial pressure with NE;(d) all of the cells of this group were located in the dorsal NTS. In all 10 cells, systemic GDEE (180 mg/kg iv) reversibly blocked both the evoked spikes and the reflex bradycardia and hypotension induced by electrical stimulation of the vagus. GDEE failed to block the vasodepressor response to electrical stimulation of the trigeminal complex. To demonstrate that GDEE is an 1-Glu antagonist in the NTS, it was found that in 8 cells characterized as cardiovascular, 1-Glu released with a micropump from a multibarrel pipette, increased the neuronal activity. In 70% of these cells, GDEE released by the same method reversibly blocked the excitatory effect of 1-Glu. We conclude that some neurons in the NTS, driven by vagal afferents and baroreceptor stimulation, are blocked by an antagonist of 1-Glu.
