Neuronal Response Clamp
Responses of individual neurons to ongoing input are highly variable, reflecting complex threshold dynamics. Experimental access to this threshold dynamics is required in order to fully characterize neuronal input-output relationships. The challenge is practically intractable using present day experimental paradigms due to the cumulative, non-linear interactions involved. Here we introduce the ...
متن کاملPatch-clamp recording from neuronal dendrites.
Pyramidal neurons of the central nervous system have extensively arborized apical dendrites that contribute importantly to the signaling properties of the neuron. Recent advances in electrophysiological techniques have allowed recording from neuronal dendrites. These techniques depend on using infrared optics to visualize dendritic processes in the unstained brain slice preparation, on pipet po...
متن کاملNonuniform response in the squid axon membrana under voltage-clamp.
TASAKT, I. AND C. S. SPYROPOULOS. Nonunijorm response in the squid axon membrane under ‘voltage-clamp.’ Am. J. Physiol. 193(2): 309-317. 1958.-By cooling a portion of the squid giant axon at a time, it was shown that the repetitive membrane currents observed under the so-called voltageclamp conditions derived from the main portion of the ‘clamped’ axon membrane and not from the lateral unclampe...
متن کاملRole of the Checkpoint Clamp in DNA Damage Response
DNA damage occurs during DNA replication, spontaneous chemical reactions, and assaults by external or metabolism-derived agents. Therefore, all living cells must constantly contend with DNA damage. Cells protect themselves from these genotoxic stresses by activating the DNA damage checkpoint and DNA repair pathways. Coordination of these pathways requires tight regulation in order to prevent ge...
متن کاملModulatory Effects of Memantine on Neuronal Response Properties in Rat Barrel Cortex
Introduction: Memantine as N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor antagonist is used in some neurological disorders. It has been reported that memantine has modulatory effects on the somatosensory information processing in healthy subjects. This study investigated the effect of memantine on electrophysiological properties of barrel cortex neurons in male rats. Methods: Single unit recording ...
