Activation state of the hyperpolarization-activated current modulates temperature-sensitivity of firing in locus coeruleus neurons from bullfrogs.
Locus coeruleus neurons of anuran amphibians contribute to breathing control and have spontaneous firing frequencies that, paradoxically, increase with cooling. We previously showed that cooling inhibits a depolarizing membrane current, the hyperpolarization-activated current (I h) in locus coeruleus neurons from bullfrogs, Lithobates catesbeianus (Santin JM, Watters KC, Putnam RW, Hartzler LK....
متن کاملTemperature influences neuronal activity and CO2/pH sensitivity of locus coeruleus neurons in the bullfrog, Lithobates catesbeianus.
The locus coeruleus (LC) is a chemoreceptive brain stem region in anuran amphibians and contains neurons sensitive to physiological changes in CO2/pH. The ventilatory and central sensitivity to CO2/pH is proportional to the temperature in amphibians, i.e., sensitivity increases with increasing temperature. We hypothesized that LC neurons from bullfrogs, Lithobates catesbeianus, would increase C...
متن کاملThe effect of morphine on some electrophysiological parameters of paragigantocellularis and locus coeruleus nuclei interconnections
As one of the most important diffused brain modulatory systems, the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC) receives most of its afferents from the nucleus paragigantocellularis (PGi) and plays a major role in the control of drug dependence and some emotional and exciting states. For detailed investigation of the effect of morphine on relationship between these two brain stem nuclei, the activity of the r...

متن کاملEffects of methylphenidate on the membrane potential and current in neurons of the rat locus coeruleus.
Effects of methylphenidate (MPH), a therapeutic agent used in children presenting the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), on the membrane potential and current in neurons of the rat locus coeruleus (LC) were examined using intracellular and whole cell patch-clamp recording techniques. Application of MPH (30 microM) to artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) produced a hyperpolarizing...
