Adaptive rundown of excitatory post-synaptic potentials at synapses between hair cells and eight nerve fibres in the goldfish

Abstract
1. The excitatory post-synaptic potentials (e.p.s.p.s.) evoked by sound stimuli were recorded intracellularly from large afferent eight nerve fibres in the sacculus of the goldfish (S1 fibres). The fish were anaesthetized with MS-222 and spike potentials were suppressed with locally applied tetrodotoxin. 2. The e.p.s.p.s. successively evoked in response to each wound wave showed a marked rundown in size, while no reduction was observed in the microphonic potentials. The amplitude of successive e.p.s.p.s was reduced keeping approximately a fixed ratio to the preceding ones, suggesting that the rundown is attributable to a depletion of transmitter quanta from the release sites. 3. The rate of rundown of successive e.p.s.p.s, however, remained almost unchanged when the intensity of the stimulus sound was changed. It was also observed that, even after the e.p.s.p.s had been completely adapted to a continuous sound, a vigorous discharge of new e.p.s.p.s was observed when the intensity of the sound was increased. 4. These findings seem to indicate that it is the size of the readily available store and not the release fraction that is changed by a change in the sound intensity. 5. The saccular macula was superfused with solutions different in Ca and Mg ion concentrations. High Ca ion concentration brought about an increase in the size of the readily available store as well as the release fraction. 6. Mechanisms underlying these observations were discussed in terms of the quantal release mechanism as well as the morphology of the release sites.
