This study investigates the contribution of NMDA receptors to vestibular compensation for UL in the guinea pig using the NMDA receptor/channel antagonists. Three experimental approaches were taken to examine the effect of NMDA antagonists on vestibular compensation. The results imply that NMDA receptor antagonists interfere with vestibular compensation during a limited period following UL. It is found that noncompetitive NMDA antagonists MK801 have a binding site similar to dissociative anesthetics such as ketamine.

Keywords:   NMDA antagonists, ketamine, vestibular compensation, NMDA receptor, dissociative anesthetics, binding site
