Afterhyperpolarization regulates firing rate in neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Cluster I neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which are thought to be pacemakers supporting circadian activity, fire spontaneous action potentials that are followed by a monophasic afterhyperpolarization (AHP). Using a brain slice preparation, we have found that the AHP has a shorter duration in cells firing at higher frequency, consistent with circadian modulation of the AHP. The AHP...
متن کاملThe firing rate of neurons in the nucleus cuneiformis in response to formalin in male rat
Introduction: Although formalin-induced activity in primary afferent fibers and spinal dorsal horn is well described, the midbrain neural basis underlying each phase of behavior in formalin test has not been clarified. The present study was designed to investigate the nucleus cuneiformis (CnF) neuronal responses during two phases after subcutaneous injection of formalin into the hind paw...
متن کاملA Model of Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Firing Rate in the Rodent
The biological clock in mammals controls many important behavioral functions, one of which is sleep and wake patterns. It has been well established that this circadian pacemaker is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus. Lesions of the SCN have been shown to entirely eliminate circadian patterns of sleeping and waking, indicating that the SCN is completely necessary fo...
متن کاملMechanism of spontaneous firing in dorsomedial suprachiasmatic nucleus neurons.
We studied acutely dissociated neurons from the dorsomedial (shell) region of the rat suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) with the aim of determining the ionic conductances that underlie spontaneous firing. Most isolated neurons were spontaneously active, firing rhythmically at an average frequency of 8 +/- 4 Hz. After application of TTX, oscillatory activity generally continued, but more slowly and ...
