A limited contribution of Ca2+ current facilitation to paired-pulse facilitation of transmitter release at the rat calyx of Held.
Recent studies have suggested that transmitter release facilitation at synapses is largely mediated by presynaptic Ca(2+) current facilitation, but the exact contribution of Ca(2+) current facilitation has not been determined quantitatively. Here, we determine the contribution of Ca(2+) current facilitation, and of an increase in the residual free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in the nerve...
متن کاملRandom response fluctuations lead to spurious paired-pulse facilitation.
We studied paired-pulse depression (PPD) of GABA(A)ergic IPSCs under conditions of reduced transmitter release (caused by Cd(2+), baclofen, or reduced stimulus intensity) with whole-cell voltage clamp in CA1 pyramidal cells in vitro. The use-dependent model of paired-pulse responsiveness holds that a decrease in the probability of neurotransmitter release during the first stimulus will cause pr...
متن کاملA fresh look at preoperative body washing
National guidelines do not support preoperative body washing to reduce surgical site infections, instead recommending bathing or showering with soap. Yet preoperative body washing continues to be widely used in many hospitals across Europe. This paper suggests that existing trials of preoperative body washing, upon which guidelines are based, are dated and proposes a new investigation of preope...
متن کاملMetaplastic effect of apamin on LTP and paired-pulse facilitation.
In area CA1 of hippocampal slices, a single 1-sec train of 100-Hz stimulation generally triggers a short-lasting long-term potentiation (S-LTP) of 1-2 h. Here, we found that when such a train was applied 45 min after application of the small conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+ )(SK) channel blocker apamin, it induced a long-lasting LTP (L-LTP) of several hours, instead of an S-LTP. Apamin-induced ...
متن کاملA Fresh Look at Vocabulary Spurts
There is currently rather little agreement about the existence of, and explanation for, a vocabulary spurt in children during the second year. Here we apply a Functional Data Analysisbased technique called Automatic Maxima Detection to the problem of finding vocabulary spurts in a sample of 20 children. Even with considerable smoothing of the data, children were found to exhibit multiple vocabu...
