Serotonin immunoreactive boutons make synapses with feline phrenic motoneurons.
In anesthetized cats, phrenic motoneurons were intracellularly labeled with HRP. Immunohistochemistry was used to localize serotonin-like immunoreactivity that was present in numerous boutons and nerve fibers within the ventral horn of the C5 spinal segment. Immunoreactive boutons were frequently found in apposition to phrenic motoneurons, but these close contacts were more common on the dendri...
متن کاملNeuregulin-1 reverses long-term potentiation at CA1 hippocampal synapses.
Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) has been identified genetically as a schizophrenia susceptibility gene, but its function in the adult brain is unknown. Here, we show that NRG-1beta does not affect basal synaptic transmission but reverses long-term potentiation (LTP) at hippocampal Schaffer collateral-->CA1 synapses in an activity- and time-dependent manner. Depotentiation by NRG-1beta is blocked by two st...
متن کاملRecurrent inhibition of cat phrenic motoneurons.
These experiments were performed to re-examine the presence of a recurrent inhibitory pathway to phrenic motoneurons in cats. Following intracellular staining of 49 phrenic motoneurons with horseradish peroxidase, initial axon collaterals were demonstrated in six axons (12%). Intracellular recording and averaging of the synaptic responses evoked by stimulation of the phrenic roots with an inten...
متن کاملNeuregulin-1 regulates LTP at CA1 hippocampal synapses through activation of dopamine D4 receptors.
Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) is genetically linked with schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental cognitive disorder characterized by imbalances in glutamatergic and dopaminergic function. NRG-1 regulates numerous neurodevelopmental processes and, in the adult, suppresses or reverses long-term potentiation (LTP) at hippocampal glutamatergic synapses. Here we show that NRG-1 stimulates dopamine release in the...
متن کاملThe time course of transmitter at glycinergic synapses onto motoneurons.
The concentration of transmitter in the synaptic cleft and its clearance time are one of the main determinants of synaptic strength. We estimated the time course of glycine at rat lumbar motoneurons synapses in spinal cord slices by recording synaptic currents in the presence of a low-affinity competitive antagonist at glycine receptors [2-(3-carboxypropyl)-3-amino-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridazini...
