Subthreshold voltage noise of rat neocortical pyramidal neurones.
Neurones are noisy elements. Noise arises from both intrinsic and extrinsic sources, and manifests itself as fluctuations in the membrane potential. These fluctuations limit the accuracy of a neurone's output but have also been suggested to play a computational role. We present a detailed study of the amplitude and spectrum of voltage noise recorded at the soma of layer IV-V pyramidal neurones ...
متن کاملMuscarinic activation of a voltage-dependent cation nonselective current in rat association cortex.
The ionic mechanism underlying the acetylcholine-induced depolarization of layer V pyramidal neurons of rat prefrontal cortex was examined using whole-cell recording in in vitro rat brain slices. Consistent with previous results, pressure application of acetylcholine to layer V pyramidal neurons elicited a strong depolarization. Pharmacological analysis of this response indicated that it was me...
متن کاملA novel, voltage-dependent nonselective cation current activated by insulin in guinea pig isolated ventricular myocytes.
Insulin regulates cardiac metabolism and function by targeting metabolic proteins or voltage-gated ion channels. This study provides evidence for a novel, voltage-dependent, nonselective cation channel (NSCC) in the heart. Under voltage clamp at 37 degrees C and with major known conductances blocked, insulin (1 nmol/L to 1 micromol/L) activated an outwardly rectifying current (Iinsulin) in guin...
متن کاملPhe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide Activates a Novel Voltage-dependent K+ Current through a Lipoxygenase Pathway in Molluscan Neurones
The neuropeptide Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide (FMRFa) dose dependently (ED50 = 23 nM) activated a K+ current in the peptidergic caudodorsal neurones that regulate egg laying in the mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis. Under standard conditions ([K+]o = 1.7 mM), only outward current responses occurred. In high K+ salines ([K+]o = 20 or 57 mM), current reversal occurred close to the theoretical reversal potential...
متن کاملA Novel voltage-dependent chloride current activated by extracellular acidic pH in cultured rat Sertoli cells.
Sertoli cells from mammalian testis are key cells involved in development and maintenance of stem cell spermatogonia as well as secretion of a chloride- and potassium-rich fluid into the lumen of seminiferous tubules. Using whole-cell patch clamp experiments, a novel chloride current was identified. It is activated only in the presence of an extracellular acidic pH, with an estimated half-maxim...
