Effect of temperature on a voltage-sensitive electrical synapse in crayfish.
The effects of temperature on transmission through the voltage-sensitive giant motor synapse (GMS) were investigated in crayfish both experimentally and in computer simulation. The GMS is part of the fast reflex escape pathway of the crayfish and mediates activation from the lateral giant (LG) command neurone to the motor giant (MoG) flexor motoneurone. The investigation was motivated by an app...
متن کاملAnalysis of cardiac pacemaker potential using a "voltage clamp" technique.
VASSALEE, MARIO. Analysis of card& pacemaker potential using a %ltage clamf3 technique. Am. J. Physiol. 210(6): 1335-1341. I g66.-Diastolic depolarization was studied by means of ccvoItage clamp” technique in short mammalian Purkinje fibers. Clamping the membrane potential at the maximal diastolic value resulted in an inward current rising with a time constant of 3 set in 5.4 mM K, indicating t...
متن کاملAutomated voltage-clamp technique.
The voltage-clamp electrophysiology method is the gold standard for measuring the function of ion channels. In the past, this technique has had limited applicability in pharmaceutical drug discovery because of its low throughput, steep learning curve, and challenges in standardization of the experiments. Recently, new electrophysiology platforms have been developed, which are based on the use o...
متن کاملVoltage clamp techniques
Much of what we know about the properties of ion channels in cell membranes has come from experiments using voltage clamp. In general, the method allows ion flow across a cell membrane to be measured as electric current, whilst the membrane voltage is held under experimental control with a feedback amplifier. The method was first developed by Cole (1949) and Hodgkin et al. (1952) for use with t...
متن کاملThe fine structure of a rectifying electrotonic synapse
The synapses between the lateral giant axon and the giant motor axon found in the abdominal ganglia of the ventral nerve cord of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii are electronic. The junctional membrane rectifies, favoring impulse transmission from lateral giant fiber to giant motor fiber. This rectifying electronic junction consists of closely apposed membranes indistinguishable from ordinary a...
