Enhanced neuronal excitability in adult rat brainstem causes widespread repetitive brainstem depolarizations with cardiovascular consequences.
The brainstem of the adult rat is relatively resistant to spreading depolarization (SD) but after enhancement of excitability SD can be evoked by local application of KCl. In the present experiments, we observed that the enhanced excitability even triggers prolonged periods of repetitive depolarizations (RDs), which elicit significant cardiovascular changes. In contrast to KCl-evoked SDs with a...
متن کاملSingle-channel properties of glycine receptors of juvenile rat spinal motoneurones in vitro
An essential step in understanding fast synaptic transmission is to establish the activation mechanism of synaptic receptors. The purpose of this work was to extend our detailed single-channel kinetic characterization of alpha1beta glycine channels from rat recombinant receptors to native channels from juvenile (postnatal day 12-16) rat spinal cord slices. In cell-attached patches from ventral ...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of active and passive membrane properties in rat vibrissa motoneurones.
We characterized the electrophysiological properties of vibrissa motoneurones (vMNs) in rat. Intracellular recordings of vMNs in brainstem slices from animals aged P4 to P5 and P9 to P11, i.e. newborn animals, showed that the subthreshold membrane impedance has the form of passive decay. In particular, the impedance follows the 1/ radical f signature for long dendrites beyond a cut-off frequenc...
متن کاملOscillation and Repetitive Firing in Squid Axons
Space-clamped squid axons treated with low calcium and computed Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) axons were stimulated by steps of superthreshold current from 101 to 400% of the rheobasic value over a temperature range of 5-27 degrees C. The natural frequency of sustained repetitive firing of real and computed axons depended weakly upon stimulus intensity and strongly upon temperature, with a Q(10) of 2.7 (...
متن کاملMuscarinic modulation of the oscillatory and repetitive firing properties of entorhinal cortex layer II neurons.
Neurons in layer II of the entorhinal cortex (EC) are key elements in the temporal lobe memory system because they integrate and transfer into the hippocampal formation convergent sensory input from the entire cortical mantle. EC layer II also receives a profuse cholinergic innervation from the basal forebrain that promotes oscillatory dynamics in the EC network and may also implement memory fu...
