Development of calcium current subtypes in isolated rat hippocampal pyramidal cells.

Postnatal development of dendritic calcium signaling in rat hippocampal pyramidal cells

Time course of dysregulation of calcium homeostasis in acutely isolated CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons after pilocarpine-induced Status Epilepticus

Glutamate induces excitotoxic damage to hippocampal pyramidal neurons in Status Epilepticus (SE) and epilepsy. In this study, we investigated time course of dysregulation of calcium homeostasis at various intervals after an episode of SE in acutely isolated CA1hippocampal pyramidal. For this purpose, male Sprague-Dawley rats (200 g) were subjected to pilocarpine-induced SE. The SE was blocked a...

Effect of Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) on hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells following transient global ischemia/reperfusion in male wistar rat

Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R)-induced cerebral injury has been reported as a leading cause of deathand long-term disabilities. Hippocampus is an area which is more sensitive to be affected by I/Rand hypoxic conditions. Coenzyme Q10 is a strong antioxidant which plays a role in membranestabilization. This study aims to investigate the possible role of CoQ10 in ameliorating thehistomorphological cha...

Acetylcholine activates an alpha-bungarotoxin-sensitive nicotinic current in rat hippocampal interneurons, but not pyramidal cells.

The effects of acetylcholine on both pyramidal neurons and interneurons in the area CA1 of the rat hippocampus were examined, using intracellular recording techniques in an in vitro slice preparation. In current-clamp mode, fast local application of acetylcholine (ACh) to the soma of inhibitory interneurons in stratum radiatum resulted in depolarization and rapid firing of action potentials. Un...
