Ionic currents underlying spontaneous action potentials in isolated cerebellar Purkinje neurons.
Acutely dissociated cell bodies of mouse Purkinje neurons spontaneously fired action potentials at approximately 50 Hz (25 degrees C). To directly measure the ionic currents underlying spontaneous activity, we voltage-clamped the cells using prerecorded spontaneous action potentials (spike trains) as voltage commands and used ionic substitution and selective blockers to isolate individual curre...
متن کاملSynaptic currents in cerebellar Purkinje cells.
Cerebellar Purkinje cells are known to receive strong excitatory input from two major pathways originating outside the cerebellum and inhibitory input from two types of neurons in the cerebellar cortex. The functions and synaptic strengths of these pathways are only partially known. We have used the patch-clamp technique applied to Purkinje cells in thin slices of rat cerebellum to measure dire...
متن کاملPostsynaptic currents in deep cerebellar nuclei.
Postsynaptic currents were studied by whole cell recordings in visually identified large neurons of the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) in slices of 4- to 11-day-old mice. Spontaneous postsynaptic currents were abolished by the GABA(A) receptor antagonist bicuculline and had a single-exponential decay with a mean time constant of 13.6 +/- 3.2 (SD) ms. Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were ...
متن کاملVoltage dependent sodium currents in cultured rat cerebellar granule cells.
Sodium currents were studied in granule cells dissociated from rat cerebellum. Macroscopic currents were recorded using the patch-clamp technique. Sodium currents, which are TTX sensitive, reached a maximum peak value of 0.42 +/- 0.08 pA/microns2 at 18.4 +/- 2.2 mV (n = 6). Activation and inactivation kinetics and steady-state properties were described in terms of Hodgkin and Huxley parameters....
متن کاملLong-Term Potentiation of Glial Synaptic Currents in Cerebellar Culture
Glial cells in the brain express neurotransmitter receptors and can respond appropriately to application of exogenous neurotransmitters such as glutamate. However, activation of receptors by endogenous, synaptically released transmitter has been difficult to demonstrate directly. Using cell-pair recording in cerebellar cultures from embryonic mouse, it is shown that activation of a cerebellar g...
