17. + salts) was included in the pipette solution, GTP was omitted. Infusion of GDPβS or GTPγS into the calyx was done as previously reported (10). Briefly, an Eppendorf yellow tip was heated and pulled to produce a tip diameter of 50 to 70 μm, and the pipette solution containing guanine nucleotides was back-filled into the tube and installed into a patch pipette with its tip positioned by 500 to 600 μm proximal to the tip of the patch pipette. After control responses were recorded, GDPβS or GTPγS was delivered into the patch pipette by a positive pressure manually applied through a syringe. When Lucifer Yellow (0.05%) was injected into a calyx by this method, fluorescence became detectable within 1 min after injection and reached maximal intensity within an additional 2 min. A GDPβS concentration of <0.2 mM in the whole-cell pipette did not prevent the baclofen effect (9).
18. B receptor ligand bactofen (10 to 20 μM) inhibited EPSCs through activating presynaptic heterotrimeric G proteins (9) by 72 ± 4.3% before the presynaptic infusion of GDPβS, but by only 11 ± 2.6% after GDPβS infusion (n = 4 cells).
19. pCa was slightly facilitated during 10-Hz stimulation (20, 28).

25. In some experiments GTPγS was photo-released by an ultraviolet flashlight (10 s) from a caged compound included in the presynaptic pipettes (38 μM) (9).
26. Recovery was complete with GTP (101 ± 2%, n = 6), GDPβS (98 ± 3%, n = 6), or with no guanine nucleotides (97 ± 2%, n = 9) in the presynaptic pipettes.

28. pCa and both eventually disappeared within 16 min (n = 3). Thus, ATP turnover seems to be indispensable for basal synaptic transmission.
