متن کاملContributions of voltage- and Ca2+-activated conductances to GABA-induced depolarization in spider mechanosensory neurons.
Activation of ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptors depolarizes neurons that have high intracellular [Cl(-)], causing inhibition or excitation in different cell types. The depolarization often leads to inactivation of voltage-gated Na channels, but additional ionic mechanisms may also be affected. Previously, a simulated model of spider VS-3 mechanosensory neurons sugges...
متن کاملRyR1-specific requirement for depolarization-induced Ca2+ sparks in urinary bladder smooth muscle.
Ryanodine receptor subtype 1 (RyR1) has been primarily characterized in skeletal muscle but several studies have revealed its expression in smooth muscle. Here, we used Ryr1-null mice to investigate the role of this isoform in Ca(2+) signaling in urinary bladder smooth muscle. We show that RyR1 is required for depolarization-induced Ca(2+) sparks, whereas RyR2 and RyR3 are sufficient for sponta...
متن کاملHistamine-induced depolarization: ionic mechanisms and role in sustained contraction of rabbit cerebral arteries.
The role of membrane depolarization in the histamine-induced contraction of the rabbit middle cerebral artery was examined by simultaneous measurements of membrane potential and isometric force. Histamine (1-100 microM) induced a concentration-dependent sustained contraction associated with sustained depolarization. Action potentials were observed during depolarization caused by histamine but n...
متن کاملLong-lasting hyperexcitability induced by depolarization in the absence of detectable Ca2+ signals.
Learning and memory depend on neuronal alterations induced by electrical activity. Most examples of activity-dependent plasticity, as well as adaptive responses to neuronal injury, have been linked explicitly or implicitly to induction by Ca(2+) signals produced by depolarization. Indeed, transient Ca(2+) signals are commonly assumed to be the only effective transducers of depolarization into a...
متن کاملNa(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger controls the gain of the Ca(2+) amplifier in the dendrites of amacrine cells.
We have previously shown that disabling forward-mode Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange in amacrine cells greatly prolongs the depolarization-induced release of transmitter. To investigate the mechanism for this, we imaged [Ca(2+)](i) in segments of dendrites during depolarization. Removal of [Na(+)](o) produced no immediate effect on resting [Ca(2+)](i) but did prolong [Ca(2+)](i) transients induced by bri...
