Single medial vestibular nucleus neurons were recorded from guinea pig brainstem slices in vitro while superfusing with the selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists, MK801 and CPP. The majority of neurons tested showed a decrease in firing rate in response to these NMDA antagonists, suggesting that NMDA receptors may contribute to the resting activity of MVN neurons.
