Cholinergic modulation of epileptiform activity in the developing rat neocortex.
The effects of carbachol on picrotoxin-induced epileptiform activity and membrane properties of neurons in the developing rat neocortex were examined in an in vitro slice preparation. Intracellular recordings were obtained in layer II-III neurons of slices prepared from rats 9-21 days of age. Epileptiform activity in 9- to 14-day-olds consisted of a sharply rising, sustained (10-30 s) membrane ...
متن کاملRegulation of epileptiform discharges in rat neocortex by HCN channels.
Hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated, nonspecific cation (HCN) channels have a well-characterized role in regulation of cellular excitability and network activity. The role of these channels in control of epileptiform discharges is less thoroughly understood. This is especially pertinent given the altered HCN channel expression in epilepsy. We hypothesized that inhibition of HCN...
متن کاملInvolvement of GABA(B) receptors in convulsant-induced epileptiform activity in rat neocortex in vitro.
The role of gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABA(B)) receptors in the generation and maintenance of bicuculline-induced epileptiform activity in rat neocortical slices was studied using electrophysiological methods. A block of GABA(B) receptors in the presence of functional GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition was not sufficient to induce epileptiform activity. In the presence of the GABA(A) recepto...
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولHypoxia-induced dysfunction in developing rat neocortex.
Neocortical slices from young [postnatal day (P) 5-8], juvenile (P14-18), and adult (>P28) rats were exposed to long periods of hypoxia. Field potential (FP) responses to orthodromic synaptic stimulation, the extracellular DC potential, and the extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o] were measured simultaneously in layers II/III of primary somatosensory cortex. Hypoxia caused a 42 and 55% de...
