Probing vesicle dynamics in single hippocampal synapses.
We use fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching to study vesicle dynamics inside the synapses of cultured hippocampal neurons labeled with the fluorescent vesicle marker FM 1-43. These studies show that when the cell is electrically at rest, only a small population of vesicles is mobile, taking seconds to traverse the synapse. Applying the phosphatase...
متن کاملRelease of Neurotransmitters
The synapse is the point of functional contact between one neuron and another. It is the primary place at which information is transmitted from neuron to neuron in the central nervous system or from neuron to target (gland or muscle) in the periphery. The simplest way for one cell to inform another of its activity is by direct electrical interaction, in which the current generated extracellular...
متن کاملRelease of neurotransmitters from glia.
There is no question about the fact that astrocytes and other glial cells release neurotransmitters that activate receptors on neurons, glia and vascular cells, and that calcium is an important second messenger regulating the release. This occurs in cell culture, tissue slice and in vivo. Negative results from informative experiments designed to test the mechanism of calcium-dependent neurotran...
متن کاملnew semigroup compactifications via the enveloping semigroups of associated flows
this thesis deals with the construction of some function algebras whose corresponding semigroup compactification are universal with respect to some properies of their enveloping semigroups. the special properties are of beigan a left zero, a left simple, a group, an inflation of the right zero, and an inflation of the rectangular band.
15 صفحه اولAstrocytes potentiate transmitter release at single hippocampal synapses.
Astrocytes play active roles in brain physiology. They respond to neurotransmitters and modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic function. However, the influence of astrocytes on synaptic transmission and plasticity at the single synapse level is unknown. Ca(2+) elevation in astrocytes transiently increased the probability of transmitter release at hippocampal area CA3-CA1 synapses, without ...
