Neuropeptide Y suppresses epileptiform activity in rat hippocampus in vitro.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) potently inhibits glutamate-mediated synaptic transmission in areas CA1 and CA3 of the rat hippocampus without affecting other synaptic inputs onto principal cells of the hippocampal formation, suggesting that its biological role may include the regulation of excitability within the hippocampus. Here we examine NPY's actions in three in vitro models of epilepsy [0 Mg2+-, pi...
متن کامل2-Arachidonoylglycerol enrichment Reduced Epileptiform Activity of the Rat Hippocampus induced with Pentylenetetrazol
Background and Objective: 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide (AEA) are two major endocannabinoids. Using inhibitors of the enzymatic pathways involved in the elimination of 2-AG and AEA as well as synthetic 2-AG, we examined the effectiveness of these endocannabinoids on epileptiform activity induced in Wistar rats by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). Material and Methods: Adult male Wistar r...
متن کاملSuppression of excitatory synaptic transmission can facilitate low-calcium epileptiform activity in the hippocampus in vivo.
It has been reported that the inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is abolished before the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) when the extracellular concentration of Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](o)) is removed gradually in hippocampal slices. However, the low-Ca(2+) nonsynaptic epileptiform activity does not appear until the [Ca(2+)](o) is decreased to a level sufficient to depress the excitatory...
متن کاملReciprocal Regulation of Epileptiform Neuronal Oscillations and Electrical Synapses in the Rat Hippocampus
Gap junction (GJ) channels have been recognized as an important mechanism for synchronizing neuronal networks. Herein, we investigated the participation of GJ channels in the pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) by analyzing electrophysiological activity following the blockade of connexins (Cx)-mediated communication. In addition, we examined the regulation of gene expression, protein le...
متن کاملDoes a dysfunctional heart alter excitatory synapses in the hippocampus?
II III Does a dysfunctional heart alter excitatory synapses in the hippocampus? Master's degree 60 study points 2014 Does a dysfunctional heart alter excitatory synapses in the hippocampus? Abstract It is known that elderly people suffering from heart disease can have memory problems. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that is essential for memory formation and is one of the areas that is...
