Effects of Memantine on the Spontaneous Firing Frequency of Hippocampal CA1 Pyramidal Neurons in Intact and Alzheimer Rat Model: An Electrophysiological Study
Introduction: Memantine (MEM) is a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist clinically used for the treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD) in mild to severe conditions. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of memantine on the spontaneous firing frequency of CA1 pyramidal neurons in rats caused by an electrical lesion of Nucleus Basalis Magnocellularis (...
متن کاملEffects of beta-catenin on dendritic morphology and simulated firing patterns in cultured hippocampal neurons.
Beta-catenin is an intracellular signaling molecule that has been shown to be important in activity-dependent dendritic morphogenesis. Here, we investigate the detailed morphological changes elicited in dendritic arbors of cultured hippocampal neurons by overexpression of beta-catenin, and we simulate the electrophysiological consequences of these changes. Compared to control neurons, cells ove...
متن کاملKetamine stereoselectively inhibits spontaneous Ca2+-oscillations in cultured hippocampal neurons.
Spontaneous Ca2+-oscillations are a result of periodic increases and decreases of cytosolic Ca2+. In neurons, they are thought to possess integrative properties because amplitude and frequency influence axon outgrowth, neuronal growth cone migration, and long distant wiring within the developing cortex. Ketamine stereoisomers differ in their affinities for the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor ...
متن کاملDose-dependent effects of morphine on hippocampal seizure
Opiates have complex effects on seizure thresholds as these substances have both anti and proconvulsive actions in the mammalian brain. A reduction of inhibitory synaptic activity or enhancement of excitatory synaptic activity would be expected to trigger a seizure. This study is designed to determine how morphine and naloxone affect seizures induced by a low Mg2+ perfusate in the whole, intact...
متن کاملEffects of sustained gamma-hydroxybutyrate treatments on spontaneous and evoked firing activity of locus coeruleus norepinephrine neurons.
BACKGROUND Gamma-hydroxybutyrate is currently used to promote nighttime sleep in the treatment of narcolepsy; however, it is also a drug of abuse ("Liquid Ecstasy") associated with a withdrawal syndrome with anxiety features. Of interest, the activity of locus coeruleus neurons is a reflective index of these above mentioned behavioral states. METHODS Using in vivo extracellular unitary record...
