It is becoming increasingly evident that activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors leads to significant changes in cytosolic [K+]([K+] C), a major determinant of the plasma membrane (PM) potential, Em. Since E m affects fluxes of key cations, such as Ca 2+, it is important to precisely quantify [K+] C and E m in neurons exposed to glutamate receptor agonists. Here we studied the relationships between [K+] C and E m in primary cultures of cerebellar granule cells, and found that kainate elicits a rapid drop in [K+] C below 10 mM. Using patch electrodes containing 10 or 150 mM K+, we determined that kainate depolarizes the PM to− 2 or− 28 mV, respectively. Therefore, the actual PM depolarization elicited by kainate is much larger than that routinely measured with K+-rich electrodes.
