1. Whole cell recordings of glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) evoked by electrical stimulation in the reticular formation were made from visualized hypoglossal motoneurons (HMs) in rat brain stem slices.2. Carbachol, muscarine, or physostigmine reduced EPSC amplitude to 50 +/- 3%, 37 +/- 3%, and 54 +/- 7% (mean +/- SE) of control, respectively; effects of carbachol and physostigmine were antagonized by atropine (1-2 mu M). EPSC depression was most effectively antagonized by methoctramine, an M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonist with a high affinity constant (pK(B)) of 8.07 for the receptor mediating this response, whereas pirenzepine, an M1 mAChR antagonist, had a pK(B) of
