CaV2.3 Channels Are Critical for Oscillatory Burst Discharges in the Reticular Thalamus and Absence Epilepsy
Neurons of the reticular thalamus (RT) display oscillatory burst discharges that are believed to be critical for thalamocortical network oscillations related to absence epilepsy. Ca²+-dependent mechanisms underlie such oscillatory discharges. However, involvement of high-voltage activated (HVA) Ca²+ channels in this process has been discounted. We examined this issue closely using mice deficien...
متن کاملBrief Communication Low Voltage-Activated Ca Channels Are Coupled to Ca - Induced Ca Release in Rat Thalamic Midline Neurons
High voltage-activated Ca 2 channels are coupled to the release of Ca 2 from intracellular stores. Here we present evidence that, in the paraventricular thalamic nucleus and other midline thalamic nuclei, activation of low voltage-activated (LVA) Ca 2 channels stimulates Ca 2 -induced Ca 2 release (CICR) from intracellular stores. Voltage-clamp activation of LVA Ca 2 channels in fluo-4 AM-loade...
متن کاملLow-voltage-activated calcium current does not regulate the firing behavior in paired mechanosensory neurons with different adaptation properties.
Low-voltage-activated Ca(2+) currents (LVA-I(Ca)) are believed to perform several roles in neurons such as lowering the threshold for action potentials, promoting burst firing and oscillatory behavior, and enhancing synaptic excitation. They also may allow rapid increases in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. We discovered LVA-I(Ca) in both members of paired mechanoreceptor neurons in a spider...
متن کاملSelective T-type calcium channel block in thalamic neurons reveals channel redundancy and physiological impact of I(T)window.
Although it is well established that low-voltage-activated T-type Ca(2+) channels play a key role in many neurophysiological functions and pathological states, the lack of selective and potent antagonists has so far hampered a detailed analysis of the full impact these channels might have on single-cell and neuronal network excitability as well as on Ca(2+) homeostasis. Recently, a novel series...
متن کاملDendritic calcium channels and their activation by synaptic signals in auditory coincidence detector neurons.
The avian nucleus laminaris (NL) encodes the azimuthal location of low-frequency sound sources by detecting the coincidence of binaural signals. Accurate coincidence detection requires precise developmental regulation of the lengths of the fine, bitufted dendrites that characterize neurons in NL. Such regulation has been suggested to be driven by local, synaptically mediated, dendritic signals ...
