Decreased Response to Acetylcholine during Aging of Aplysia Neuron R15
How aging affects the communication between neurons is poorly understood. To address this question, we have studied the electrophysiological properties of identified neuron R15 of the marine mollusk Aplysia californica. R15 is a bursting neuron in the abdominal ganglia of the central nervous system and is implicated in reproduction, water balance, and heart function. Exposure to acetylcholine (...
متن کاملSynaptic actions of identified peptidergic neuron R15 in Aplysia. I. Activation of respiratory pumping.
The purpose of the study described in this and the following two companion papers was to determine the synaptic actions of neuron R15, an endogenously bursting neurosecretory cell in Aplysia, as a step toward determining its physiological function. The results described in this paper demonstrate that activity in R15 increases the frequency of bursting in the R25/L25 network that triggers respir...
متن کاملPatterns of proteins synthesized in the R15 neuron of Aplysia. Temporal studies and evidence for processing
The time-course of changes in the pattern of newly synthesized proteins in the R15 neuron of the parietovisceral ganglion of Aplysia californica has been studied at 14 degrees C. 5% polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) have been used to separate newly synthesized (leucine-labeled) proteins from the neuron. We have demonstrated that the pattern of newly synthesized protein...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent inactivation of a potassium current in the Aplysia neuron R15.
The endogenously bursting pacemaker neuron R15 of Aplysia exhibits an inwardly rectifying K+ current (IR) that was shown previously to be enhanced by various neurotransmitters via the intracellular second messenger, cyclic AMP (Drummond et al., 1980; Benson and Levitan, 1983; Levitan et al., 1987). Here we present evidence that Ca2+ influx, either caused by spontaneous bursting activity or elic...
متن کاملCircadian Rhythm of Neuron R15 of Aplysia californica: In Vivo Photoentrainment.
(1) The neuron R15 in the parietovisceral ganglion of Aplysia has a circadian rhythm of spiking activity when recorded in the isolated ganglion. The rhythm is entrained in vivo by light-dark cycles. (2) The phase of the R15 rhythm is a function not only of the entraining light schedule, but also of the time of dissection. Changes in the dissection time during the light portion of the light-dark...
