Abstract
The locus and mechanisms of long-lasting adaptation in neural systems have been the subject of intensive re search efforts for many years. Prominent among early efforts was the demonstration of an increased sensitivity to acetylcholine in denervated skeletal muscle (CANNON and ROSENBLUTH, 1949). More recently, the technology for the direct study of high affinity receptor binding specific to individual neurotransmitters has evolved and with it has grown our knowledge of the complexity of receptor-ligand interactions and subsequent coupling to effector sites in the target cell. It has become clear that cell surface receptors for neurotransmitters can undergo long-lasting changes in sensitivity to ligand that are reciprocal to the frequency of ligand encounter (FRIEDHOFF, 1977). It is further apparent that in some instances the elements coupling cell surface receptors to an effector complex within the cell are capable of independent adaptation. Finally, it is evident that the purposeful manipulation of these receptor systems, by pharmacological strategies, may provide novel means by which to produce long-lasting remediation of some clinical disorders possibly resulting from receptor dysfunction.
