Response of thalamocortical neurons to hypoxia: a whole-cell patch-clamp study.
The effect of hypoxia (3-4 min of 95% N2, 5% CO2) on thalamocortical (TC) neurons was investigated using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique in rat dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus slices kept submerged at 32 degreesC. The predominant feature of the response of TC neurons to hypoxia was an increase in input conductance (DeltaGN = 117 +/- 15%, n = 33) that was accompanied by an inward shift in...
متن کاملWhole-Cell Patch-Clamp Recordings
The patch-clamp recording technique, which measures ionic currents under voltage clamp, was designed to study small patches of membranes in which near perfect control of the transmembrane voltage can be achieved readily. The recent application of patch-clamp methodology to the analysis of whole-cell current actually defies many of the original design requirements. Nevertheless, whole-cell recor...
متن کاملWhole cell patch-clamp study of putative vasomotor neurons isolated from the rostral ventrolateral medulla.
A distinct subpopulation of neurons in the rostral and ventrolateral part of the medulla oblongata (RVL) plays a key role in controlling sympathetic vasomotor tone. To characterize these neurons under conditions in which all cell-to-cell interactions are eliminated, RVL neurons were acutely dissociated from 13- to 19-day old rats. Cells projecting to the upper thoracic segments were retrogradel...
متن کاملVisually guided whole cell patch clamp of mouse supraoptic nucleus neurons in cultured and acute conditions.
Recent advances in neuronal culturing techniques have supplied a new set of tools for studying neural tissue, providing effective means to study molecular aspects of regulatory elements in the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus (SON). To combine molecular biology techniques with electrophysiological recording, we modified an organotypic culture protocol to permit transfection and whole cell...
متن کاملMeasurement of cellular excitability by whole cell patch clamp technique.
Patch clamp method developed more than 30 years ago is widely used for investigation of cellular excitability manifested as transmembrane ionic current and/or generation of action potentials. This technique could be applied to measurement of ionic currents flowing through individual (single) ion channels or through the whole assembly of ion channels expressed in the whole cell. Whole cell confi...
