Activation of Glycine and Extrasynaptic GABAA Receptors by Taurine on the Substantia Gelatinosa Neurons of the Trigeminal Subnucleus Caudalis

Figure 2

Taurine-induced membrane depolarizations and taurine-induced currents are mediated by postsynaptic SG neurons. (a), (c) The representative traces showing membrane depolarization and inward current induced by taurine (100 μM) alone and taurine in the presence of AARBC. (b), (d) Bar graphs showing the comparisons of mean relative membrane depolarization and mean inward current by the taurine alone and taurine in the presence of AARBC ( ).
