Quadratic Sinusoidal Analysis of Neurons in Voltage Clamp
Nonlinear biophysical properties of individual neurons are known to play a major role in the nervous system. Earlier electrophysiological studies have made use of piecewise linear characterization of voltage clamped neurons, which consists of a sequence of linear admittances computed at different voltage levels. In this paper, the linear approach is extended to a piecewise quadratic characteriz...
متن کاملNMDA-induced dendritic oscillations during a soma voltage clamp of chick spinal neurons.
An investigation of dendritic membrane properties was performed by whole-cell patch measurements of the biophysical properties of intact chick spinal neurons that are involved in rhythmogenesis. A whole-cell voltage clamp of the somatic membrane was used to block NMDA-induced voltage oscillations from the cell body, thus partially isolating the intrinsic oscillatory properties of dendritic memb...
متن کاملLow frequency voltage clamp: recording of voltage transients at constant average command voltage.
We implemented a simple feedback system that modifies the conventional current clamp mode of a patch clamp amplifier so that transient potentials, such as action potentials and synaptic potentials, can be measured as in the usual current clamp, while the average membrane potential is kept constant at a value chosen by the user. The circuit thus works like the current clamp for high frequency si...
متن کاملCalcium-activated conductance in skate electroreceptors: voltage clamp experiments
Voltage clamp experiments allow further characterization of the calcium-dependent repolarizing process in skate electroreceptor epithelium. Four current components are described: a prolonged capacity current, a leakage current, an early active current which flows inward across the lumenal membranes of the receptor cells, and a late current which flows outward. The leakage and capacity currents ...
متن کاملVoltage-clamp analysis of sodium channels in wild-type and mutant Drosophila neurons.
In this study we describe a preparation in which we examined directly, using tight-seal whole-cell recording, sodium currents from embryonic Drosophila neurons maintained in culture. Sodium currents were expressed in approximately 65% of the neurons prepared from wild-type Drosophila embryos when examined at room temperature, 24 hr after plating. While current density was low, other features of...
