introduction: in the present work, spontaneous postsynaptic currents were assessed to investigate the postnatal development of excitatory postsynaptic currents in locus coeruleus neurons. methods: in this study, ampa and nmda receptor-mediated spontaneous synaptic currents in the neurons of locus coeruleus were assessed using whole cell voltage-clamp recording during the first three weeks. resu...

In this paper we will present the theory of Flavour-Changing Neutral Currents and the possible implications for the discovery of new particles. We also present a search for such currents in decays of B s → μ+μ− and B → μ+μ− , which has direct implications for the constraints of new theories, especially Supersymmetry.

During the last decade the agenda of local and global politics is heavily marked by the encounter of two powerful currents, namely democracy and political Islam. On the one hand Islam as a religion itself is facing a cultural dialectic between a modern and an authentic form, producing a synthesis which is only to be criticized again by a new radical antithesis. Within that framework political I...

K2P (KCNK) potassium channels generate "leak" potassium currents that strongly influence cellular excitability and contribute to pain, somatosensation, anesthesia, and mood. Despite their physiological importance, K2Ps lack specific pharmacology. Addressing this issue has been complicated by the challenges that the leak nature of K2P currents poses for electrophysiology-based high-throughput sc...

the goal of this study was to determine the effects of the l-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fkv1.4δn), an n-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret kv1.4 potassium channel. measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in xenopus oocytes. the fkv1.4δn currents displayed...

This article is concerned with the question of whether an energy bound implies a genus for pseudo-holomorphic curves in almost complex manifolds. After reviewing what known dimensions other than six, we establish new result this direction dimension six; particular, symplectic Calabi–Yau 3–folds. The proof relies on compactness and regularity theorems currents.

A new type of metallic electromagnetic structure has been developed that is characterized by having high surface impedance. The geometry is analogous to a corrugated metal surface in which the corrugations have been folded up into lumped circuit elements, and distributed in a 2-D lattice. Although it is made of continuous metal, and conducts DC currents, it does not conduct AC currents within a...

Whole cell voltage-clamp electrophysiology was used to examine interactions between GABA and glycine at inhibitory amino acid receptors on rat olfactory bulb neurons in primary culture. Membrane currents evoked by GABA and glycine were selectively inhibited by low concentrations of bicuculline and strychnine, respectively, suggesting that they activate pharmacologically distinct receptors. Howe...
