Identification of CaV channel types expressed in muscle afferent neurons.
Cardiovascular adjustments to exercise are partially mediated by group III/IV (small to medium) muscle afferents comprising the exercise pressor reflex (EPR). However, this reflex can be inappropriately activated in disease states (e.g., peripheral vascular disease), leading to increased risk of myocardial infarction. Here we investigate the voltage-dependent calcium (CaV) channels expressed in...
متن کاملSENSORIMOTOR CONTROL OVER FUSIMOTOR NEURONS OF THE TENUISSIMUS MUSCLE IN THE A NESTHETIZED CAT: A QUALITATIVE PRIMARY AFFERENT RECORDING
Cortical control of the sensory output of muscle spindles was studied in thirteen anesthetized cats in the present experiment. Gamma motoneuron activity was monitored during electrical stimulation of the sensorimotor cortex while recording from single primary afferents from the tenuissimus muscle. Findings are as follows: 1. The state of anesthesia is crucial in obtaining reproducible resu...
متن کاملIdentification of specific sensory neuron populations for study of expressed ion channels.
Sensory neurons transmit signals from various parts of the body to the central nervous system. The soma for these neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia that line the spinal column. Understanding the receptors and channels expressed by these sensory afferent neurons could lead to novel therapies for disease. The initial step is to identify the specific subset of sensory neurons of inter...
متن کاملa-SNS Produces the Slow TTX-Resistant Sodium Current in Large Cutaneous Afferent DRG Neurons
Renganathan, M., T. R. Cummins, W. N. Hormuzdiar, and S. G. Waxman. a-SNS produces the slow TTX-resistant sodium current in large cutaneous afferent DRG neurons. J Neurophysiol 84: 710–718, 2000. In this study, we used sensory neuron specific (SNS) sodium channel gene knockout (2/2) mice to ask whether SNS sodium channel produces the slow Na current (“slow”) in large (.40 mm diam) cutaneous aff...
متن کاملTetrodotoxin-resistant voltage-dependent sodium channels in identified muscle afferent neurons.
Muscle afferents are critical regulators of motor function (Group I and II) and cardiovascular responses to exercise (Group III and IV). However, little is known regarding the expressed voltage-dependent ion channels. We identified muscle afferent neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), using retrograde labeling to examine voltage-dependent sodium (Na(V)) channels. In patch-clamp recordings, we ...
