1. Goldfish brain slices preloaded with 3H-serotonin were superfused with a solution of Krebs-Ringer phosphate at 30 degrees C in the presence of 1 microM fluoxetine, a serotonin uptake blocker. 2. The effects of exogenous serotonin, Ca2+ absence and Ca2+ chelation on basal and electrically-evoked tritium overflow were investigated. 3. Exogenous 1 or 10 microM serotonin did not alter the stimulated tritium overflow, but this was reduced to 44% and to 31% of the control value when the superfusion was performed in Ca2+-free and in Ca2+-free-EGTA conditions. 4. Neither Ca2+ absence, Ca2+ chelation or 1 microM exogenous serotonin altered basal tritium efflux; however, the latter was significantly increased when the superfusion was performed in the presence of 10 microM serotonin.
