Bullfrog ganglia contain two classes of neurone, B and C cells, which receive different inputs and exhibit different slow synaptic potentials. B cells, to which most effort has been directed, possess slow and late slow EPSPs. The sEPSP reflects a muscarinic action of acetylcholine released from boutons on B cells, whereas the late sEPSP is caused by a peptide (similar to teleost LHRH) released from boutons on C cells. During either sEPSP there is a selective reduction in two slow potassium conductances, designated ‘M’ and ‘AHP’. The M conductance is voltage dependent and the AHP conductance is calcium dependent. Normally they act synergistically to prevent repetitive firing of action potentials during maintained stimuli. Computer stimulation of the interactions of these conductances with the other five voltage-dependent conductances present in the membrane allows a complete reconstruction of the effects of slow synaptic transmission on electrical behaviour.

Saline Solutions

Saline solutions made hyperosmotic by addition of sucrose increase the discharge frequency of miniature spontaneous junctional potentials at neuromuscular junctions and sympathetic ganglia and can alter structure in both muscle and nerve. Since effects of such solutions on synaptic structure are unknown, we have investigated the influence of hyperosmolarity on function and ultrastructure in synaptic regions of isolated abdominal sympathetic ganglia of the bullfrog, Rana catesbiana.Synaptic transmission was monitored by extracellular recording of postganglionic responses to supramaximal.preganglionic stimulation (0.3 Hz). Ganglia were first equilibrated in normal frog Ringer's solution, then transferred to test solutions, and some ganglia were subsequently returned to normal Ringer's to examine functional and structural recovery.
