Two distinct stages of inhibitory synaptogenesis in cultured collicular neurons were defined on the basis of strychnine sensitivity of IPSCs, presence of EPSCs, KCC2 expression, and transmitter-induced Ca (2+) responses.

The potassium-chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2)-dependent intracellular chloride level determines whether neurons respond to GABA and/or glycine by depolarization or hyperpolarization.
Moreover, inhibition of KCC2 did not change the depressive effect of strychnine on neuronal circuits.

Implanted strychnine pellets also prevented the decrease in [Cl-](i) in most neurons.
In some of these neurons in which [Cl-](i) remained high, there was a lack of expression of the K+-Cl- cotransporter 2 (KCC2) mRNA.
