Scatchard analysis of the binding data obtained from P17 cerebellum showed a single population of binding sites (K (D) approximately 6 nM) and [3H] strychnine binding to membranes prepared from cultured neurons and P17 cerebellum was found to have the same sensitivity to the glycinergic agonists glycine, beta-alanine and taurine.

Here, using whole cell recordings in rat cerebellar slices we demonstrated that after postnatal day 17 (> P17) glycinergic IPSCs can be readily evoked in large deep cerebellar nuclear neurons (DCNs), in the same way as in neonatal DCNs (P7-P10).
Spontaneous glycinergic IPSCs were very rare but direct presynaptic depolarization by superfusion with elevated potassium concentration or application of 4-aminopyridine consistently evoked strychnine sensitive IPSCs.

A drastic but transient decrease in the glycine responsiveness of DA neurones occurred around P17 concomitant to the functional switch from the homomeric state to the heteromeric state.
The application of 1 microM gabazine blocked spontaneous or evoked inhibitory synaptic current, while the addition of 1 microM strychnine had no effect, suggesting a lack of functional glycinergic synapses on DA neurones.
