Resumen
Ionophoretic ejection of substance P (SP) activated 31% and suppressed 9% of hamster suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) cells in vitro. Hamster SCN cells did not demonstrate variation in sensitivity to SP across the circadian phases tested. SP modulated the response of 47% of hamster SCN cells to the excitatory amino acid (EAA) agonists glutamate and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA). The results indicate that SP can alter both the spontaneous and EAA-evoked firing rate characteristics of hamster SCN neurons.
