Simultaneous monitoring of three key neuronal functions in primary neuronal cultures
The coupling of Ca(2+) influx to synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling in nerve terminals is essential for neurotransmitter release and thus neuronal communication. Both of these parameters have been monitored using fluorescent reporter dyes such as fura-2 and FM1-43 in single central nerve terminals. However, their simultaneous monitoring has been hampered by the proximity of their fluorescence spec...
متن کاملNeuronal and non-neuronal aromatase in primary cultures of developing zebra finch telencephalon.
Estrogenic metabolites of circulating androgens have important effects on the organization and activation of neural circuits controlling reproductive behavior and physiology in males of many vertebrate species. Previous studies indicate that aromatase, the enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens, is expressed most abundantly in neurons in limbic brain regions. Songbirds are unique in that a...
متن کاملMonitoring synaptic transmission in primary neuronal cultures using local extracellular stimulation.
Various techniques have been applied for the functional analysis of synaptic transmission in cultured neurons. Here, we describe a method of studying synaptic transmission in neurons cultured at high-density from different brain regions such as the cortex, striatum and spinal cord. We use postsynaptic whole-cell recordings to monitor synaptic currents triggered by presynaptic action potentials ...
متن کاملDeprenyl Can Mediate Neuronal Protection Rather than Neuronal Rescue
Background and Objective: Deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. Several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. There are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on m...
متن کاملKey Regulators in Neuronal Polarity
Neurons are highly polarized cells, most of which develop a single axon and several dendrites. These two compartments acquire specific characteristics that enable neurons to transmit intercellular signals from several dendrites to an axon. A wealth of recent studies has shown that PI 3-kinase, Rho family GTPases, the Par complex, and cytoskeleton-related proteins participate in the initial even...
