Metabotropic modulation of motoneurons by scratch-like spinal network activity.
Glutamate is the main excitatory transmitter in the spinal motor network. The excitation is to a large extent mediated by ionotropic receptors, but glutamate also activates metabotropic receptors. In motoneurons in spinal cord slices the activation of group I metabotropic glutamate (mGlu1) receptors leads to facilitation of CaV1.3 L-type calcium channels. Here we investigate whether this pathwa...
متن کاملModulation of AMPA currents by D(1)-like but not D(2)-like receptors in spinal motoneurons.
Dopamine can modulate and excite spinal locomotor networks, affect afferent transmission and increase motoneuronal excitability. One of the mechanisms whereby dopamine increases motoneuronal excitability is to potentiate AMPA channel-mediated glutamatergic transmission onto motoneurons. However, it is not known which dopaminergic receptor subtypes or the intracellular mechanisms contribute to t...
متن کاملIncreased activity of pre-motor network does not change the excitability of motoneurons during protracted scratch initiation
Intrinsic response properties of neurons change during network activity. These changes may reinforce the initiation of particular forms of network activity. If so, the involvement of neurons in particular behaviours in multifunctional networks could be determined by up- or down-regulation of their intrinsic excitability. Here we employed an experimental paradigm of protracted scratch initiation...

متن کاملDistinct subtypes of metabotropic glutamate receptors mediate differential actions on excitability of spinal respiratory motoneurons.
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) modulate neuronal function by affecting excitability and altering synaptic transmission. We have shown that the mGluR agonist (1S,3R)-1-amino-1, 3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid (1S,3R-ACPD) has multiple actions on phrenic motoneurons (PMNs), including reduction of inspiratory-modulated synaptic currents and an increase of neuronal excitability. We hypot...
