Muscarinic receptor modulation of slow afterhyperpolarization and phasic firing in rat supraoptic nucleus neurons.
A slow posttrain afterhyperpolarization (sAHP) was studied in rat magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) in vitro. The sAHP was isolated from other afterpotentials by blocking the depolarizing afterpotential (DAP) with Cs(+) and the medium afterhyperpolarization (mAHP) with apamin. The sAHP amplitude increased logarithmically with activity ( approximately 3 mV per e-fold increase in number o...
متن کاملAfterhyperpolarization regulates firing rate in neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Cluster I neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which are thought to be pacemakers supporting circadian activity, fire spontaneous action potentials that are followed by a monophasic afterhyperpolarization (AHP). Using a brain slice preparation, we have found that the AHP has a shorter duration in cells firing at higher frequency, consistent with circadian modulation of the AHP. The AHP...
متن کاملThe firing rate of neurons in the nucleus cuneiformis in response to formalin in male rat
Introduction: Although formalin-induced activity in primary afferent fibers and spinal dorsal horn is well described, the midbrain neural basis underlying each phase of behavior in formalin test has not been clarified. The present study was designed to investigate the nucleus cuneiformis (CnF) neuronal responses during two phases after subcutaneous injection of formalin into the hind paw...
متن کاملMuscarinic modulation of conductances underlying the afterhyperpolarization in neurons of the rat basolateral amygdala.
The excitability level of pyramidal neurons in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is greatly increased following muscarinic receptor activation, an effect associated with an increased rate of action potential firing and reduction of the afterhyperpolarization (AHP). We impaled BLA pyramidal neurons in slices of rat ventral forebrain with a single microelectrode to examine the currents underlying th...
متن کاملMuscarinic modulation of recruitment threshold and firing rate in rat oculomotor nucleus motoneurons.
Above recruitment threshold, ocular motoneurons (Mns) show a firing rate linearly related with eye position. Current hypothesis suggests that synaptic inputs are determinant for establishing the recruitment threshold and firing rate gain in these Mns. We investigated this proposal by studying the cholinergic modulation in oculomotor nucleus Mns by intracellular recordings in rat brain slice pre...
