Ion concentration dynamics as a mechanism for neuronal bursting.
We describe a simple conductance-based model neuron that includes intra- and extracellular ion concentration dynamics and show that this model exhibits periodic bursting. The bursting arises as the fast-spiking behavior of the neuron is modulated by the slow oscillatory behavior in the ion concentration variables and vice versa. By separating these time scales and studying the bifurcation struc...
متن کاملSeizing upon Mechanisms for Impaired Consciousness
Transient loss of consciousness associated with focal temporal lobe seizures is a complex phenomenon with life-threatening repercussions. In this issue of Neuron, Motelow et al. (2015) describe decreased cholinergic drive and suppressed subcortical arousal in seizures as a novel mechanism for impaired cortical function.
متن کاملElectrodiffusive Model for Astrocytic and Neuronal Ion Concentration Dynamics
The cable equation is a proper framework for modeling electrical neural signalling that takes place at a timescale at which the ionic concentrations vary little. However, in neural tissue there are also key dynamic processes that occur at longer timescales. For example, endured periods of intense neural signaling may cause the local extracellular K(+)-concentration to increase by several millim...
متن کاملFibrogenesis: Mechanisms, Dynamics and Clinical Implications
Fibrosis is the pathological condition resulting in the growth of excess fibrous connective tissue in an organ or body system as a reparative or reactive process. In the field of clinical pathology, clinicians and medical scientists are endeavoring to translate experimental knowledge into effective, innovative treatments for a range of fibrotic conditions. The amelioration of whole organ functi...
متن کاملMultiple mechanisms of bursting in a conditional bursting neuron.
The anterior burster (AB) neuron in the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus, is a conditional burster in the pyloric motor circuit. Bath application of the monoamines dopamine, serotonin, and octopamine induces rhythmic bursting pacemaker potentials in a silent, synaptically isolated AB cell. However, each amine produces a unique and characteristic burst shape, r...
