Selective excitatory actions of DNQX and CNQX in rat thalamic neurons.
The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) consists of GABA-containing neurons that form reciprocal synaptic connections with thalamic relay nuclei. Excitatory synaptic innervation of TRN neurons arises from glutamatergic afferents from thalamocortical relay neurons and deep layer corticothalamic neurons, and they produce excitation via both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA receptors. Quinoxa...
متن کاملActions and release characteristics of secretin in the rat cerebellum
Secretin, a peptide hormone of the gastrointestinal system, has been implicated in the etiology of autism. Our laboratory previously demonstrated the expression of secretin and its receptors in specific central neurons, and found for the first time that secretin is neuroactive in the cerebellum. We showed that bath application of secretin facilitated the release of GABA from terminals of basket...

متن کاملQuantitative physiological characterization of a quinoxalinedione non-NMDA receptor antagonist.
The effects of 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX, or FG 9065) on excitatory amino acid responses in cultured neurons from rat hippocampus were studied using tight-seal whole-cell recording techniques. CNQX reduced the magnitude of peak inward currents produced by exogenously applied kainate, quisqualate, and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) with Ki's of 2.5, 3.5, and 96 microM, respectively...
متن کاملCharacterization of spontaneous network-driven synaptic activity in rat hippocampal slice cultures
A particular characteristic of the neonatal hippocampus is the presence of spontaneous network-driven oscillatory events, the so-called giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs). GDPs depend on the interplay between GABA and glutamate. Early in development, GABA, acting on GABAA receptors, depolarizes neuronal membranes via a Cl- efflux. Glutamate, via AMPA receptors, generates a positive feedback n...
