GABAA receptor - mediated inhibition in the rat dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus 1 2
نویسنده
چکیده
33 GABA A receptors expressed in the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus (DMV) critically 34 regulate the activity of vagal motor neurons and, by inference, the gastrointestinal tract. Two 35 types of GABA A receptor-mediated inhibition have been identified in the brain, represented by 36 phasic (I phasic) and tonic (I tonic) inhibitory currents. The hypothesis that I tonic regulates neuron 37 activity was tested in the DMV using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in transverse brainstem 38 slices from rats.

Allopregnanolone suppresses diabetes-induced neuropathic pain and motor deficit through inhibition of GABAA receptor down-regulation in the spinal cord of diabetic rats
Objective(s):Painful diabetic neuropathy is associated with hyperexcitability and hyperactivity of spinal cord neurons. However, its underlying pathophysiological mechanisms have not been fully clarified. Induction of excitatory/inhibitory neurotransmission imbalance at the spinal cord seems to account for the abnormal neuronal activity in diabetes. Protective properties of neurosteroids have b...
متن کاملDiabetes induces GABA receptor plasticity in murine vagal motor neurons.
Autonomic dysregulation accompanies type-1 diabetes, and synaptic regulation of parasympathetic preganglionic motor neurons in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) is altered after chronic hyperglycemia/hypoinsulinemia. Tonic gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) inhibition prominently regulates DMV neuron activity, which contributes to autonomic control of energy homeostasis. This study inv...

In the present study, the effects of intracuneiformis nucleus microinjection of gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor agonist and antagonist on antinociception inducced by morphine were investigated with formalin test in rat. Intracuneiformis nucleus microinjection of morphine (10µgr/rat) and Bicuculline (50, 100 ng/rat) induced antinociception in the both first and second phases of formali...

Type A gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA(A)) receptors expressed in the dorsal motor nucleus of vagus (DMV) critically regulate the activity of vagal motor neurons and, by inference, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Two types of GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition have been identified in the brain, represented by phasic (I(phasic)) and tonic (I(tonic)) inhibitory currents. The hypothesis that I(to...
متن کاملVanilloid-mediated heterosynaptic facilitation of inhibitory synaptic input to neurons of the rat dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus.
Vanilloid type-1 receptors (VR1) are abundant in the dorsal vagal complex, where their function is mostly unknown. We examined the role of VR1 in regulating synaptic inputs to neurons of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV). Using patch-clamp recordings from DMV neurons in brainstem slices, capsaicin was found to increase action potential-independent inhibitory input onto DMV neurons. Th...
