Lateral-line sensory cells of Xenopus show considerable similarity to central nervous system synapses in their responses to the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide, and bismuth-iodide cytochemical staining techniques. Both reserpine and FLA-63 cause a reduction in the diameter and electron density of the synaptic bars, and a dramatic loss of synaptic vesicles surrounding the bars. Aminooxy acetic acid and 3-mercaptopropionic acid cause no significant changes in the sensory-cell afferent synaptic apparatus. The results are discussed in the light of the known effects of the drugs. It is concluded that a monoamine rather than an amino acid may act as the afferent transmitter.
非洲爪蟾的侧线感觉细胞在对碘化锌 - 四氧化锇和碘化铋细胞化学染色技术的反应中，与中枢神经系统突触表现出相当大的相似性。利血平和FLA - 63都会导致突触条直径和电子密度减小，以及突触条周围突触小泡的显著丢失。氨氧基乙酸和3 - 巯基丙酸对感觉细胞传入突触装置没有显著影响。根据药物的已知作用对结果进行了讨论。得出的结论是，可能是单胺而非氨基酸充当传入神经递质。
