Mechanism of long-term potentiation of transmitter release induced by adrenaline in bullfrog sympathetic ganglia
A mechanism of the long-term potentiation of transmitter release induced by adrenaline (ALTP) was studied by recording intracellularly the fast excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fast EPSPs). The ALTP was produced during the blockade of K+ channels at the presynaptic terminals by tetraethylammonium (TEA). The synaptic delay, possibly reflecting a relative change in the duration of an action po...
متن کاملRelease-Activated Ca2+ Transport in Neurons of Frog Sympathetic Ganglia
Frog sympathetic ganglion neurons exhibit a novel Ca2+ uptake mechanism, release-activated calcium transport or RACT, which is manifest in both cytosolic and store [Ca2+] signals as greatly accelerated Ca2+ uptake after Ca2+ release from internal stores. RACT is activated by Ca2+ release but not by Ca2+ entry and serves to selectively refill Ca2+ stores after release. RACT lowers cytosolic [Ca2...
متن کاملPresynaptic long-term potentiation in corticothalamic synapses.
The thalamus and neocortex are two highly organized and complex brain structures that work in concert with each other. The largest synaptic input to the thalamus arrives from the neocortex via corticothalamic fibers. Using brain slices, we describe long-term potentiation (LTP) in corticothalamic fibers contacting the ventrobasal thalamus. Corticothalamic LTP is input-specific, NMDA receptor-ind...
متن کاملATP stimulates sympathetic transmitter release via presynaptic P2X purinoceptors.
ATP is a fast transmitter in sympathetic ganglia and at the sympathoeffector junction. In primary cultures of dissociated rat superior cervical ganglion neurons, ATP elicits noradrenaline release in an entirely Ca2+-dependent manner. Nevertheless, ATP-evoked noradrenaline release was only partially reduced (by approximately 50%) when either Na+ or Ca2+ channels were blocked, which indicates tha...
متن کاملAcetylcholine-Induced Inhibition of Presynaptic Calcium Signals and Transmitter Release in the Frog Neuromuscular Junction
Acetylcholine (ACh), released from axonal terminals of motor neurons in neuromuscular junctions regulates the efficacy of neurotransmission through activation of presynaptic nicotinic and muscarinic autoreceptors. Receptor-mediated presynaptic regulation could reflect either direct action on exocytotic machinery or modulation of Ca2+ entry and resulting intra-terminal Ca2+ dynamics. We have mea...
