Cerebellar Giant Synaptosomes: a Model to Study Basal and Stimulated Release of [3H]gamma-Aminobutyric Acid
Background: Neurotransmitter release is an essential link in cell communication of the nervous system. Many investigations have focused on gamma amino butyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurotransmission, because it has been implicated in the pathophysiology of several central nervous system disorders. To bypass complications related to homo- and heterosynaptic modulation and to avoid indirect interpret...
متن کاملActivation of NPY type 5 receptors induces a long-lasting increase in spontaneous GABA release from cerebellar inhibitory interneurons.
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a widely distributed neuropeptide in the central nervous system, can transiently suppress inhibitory synaptic transmission and alter membrane excitability via Y2 and Y1 receptors (Y2rs and Y1rs), respectively. Although many GABAergic neurons express Y5rs, the functional role of these receptors in inhibitory neurons is not known. Here, we investigated whether activation of ...
متن کاملNon-cholinergic effects of paraoxon on [3h]-GABA release from rat cerebellar giant synaptosomes
Diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (paraoxon) is the active toxic metabolite of parathion. Some evidences indicate that OPs affect the GABA system via noncholinergic mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of paraoxon on K+-evoked [3H]-GABA release from cerebellar synaptosomes. Adult male rats (200 ± 30 g; 3-4 months old) were sacrificed by decapitation and the cerebel...
متن کاملPre- and postsynaptic inhibition mediated by GABA(B) receptors in cerebellar inhibitory interneurons.
The inhibitory interneurons in the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex form a complex network, interconnected by both chemical and electrotonic synapses. Previous work, using voltage optical imaging in an isolated cerebellum, has indicated that these interneurons also form presynaptic inhibitory interconnections. Here we examine the participation of GABA(B) receptors in the proposed presyn...
