We used intracellular recording and single electrode voltage-clamp techniques to explore Ca2+ currents and their relation to graded and spike-mediated synaptic transmissions in leech heart interneurons. Low-threshold Ca2+ currents (activation begins below -50 mV) consist of a rapidly inactivating component (I(CaF)) and a slowly inactivating component (I(CaS)). The apparent inactivation kinetics...
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are post-synaptically expressed at climbing fiber-Purkinje cell (CF-PC) synapses in cerebellar cortex in adult mice and contributed to CF-PC synaptic transmission under in vitro conditions. In this study, we investigated the role of NMDARs at CF-PC synapses during the spontaneous complex spike (CS) activity in cerebellar cortex in urethane-anesthetized mi...
The mammalian dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) integrates auditory nerve input with nonauditory signals via a cerebellar-like granule cell circuit. Although granule cells carry nonauditory information to the DCN, almost nothing is known about their physiology. Here we describe electrophysiological features of synaptic inputs to granule cells in the DCN by in vitro patch-clamp recordings from P12 t...
Ca(v)2.1 channels, which conduct P/Q-type Ca(2+) currents, were expressed in superior cervical ganglion neurons in cell culture, and neurotransmission initiated by these exogenously expressed Ca(2+) channels was measured. Deletions in the synaptic protein interaction (synprint) site in the intracellular loop between domains II and III of Ca(v)2.1 channels reduced their effectiveness in synaptic...
Plasticity underlying adaptive, long-term changes in breathing behavior is hypothesized to be attributable to the modulation of respiratory motoneurons by intracellular second-messenger cascades. In quiescent preparations, protein kinases, including cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), potentiate glutamatergic inputs. However, the dynamic role of protein kinases or phosphatases in functionall...
The selective loss of somatostatin (SST)-containing interneurons from the hilus of the dentate gyrus is a hallmark of epileptic hippocampus. The functional consequence of this loss, including its contribution to postseizure hyperexcitability, remains unclear. We address this issue by characterizing the actions of SST in mouse dentate gyrus using electrophysiological techniques. Although the maj...
This study addresses how gamma-aminobutyric acid-A(GABAA) and GABAC receptors confer distinct temporal properties to neuronal synaptic responses. The retina is a model system for the study of postsynaptic contributions to synaptic responses because GABAergic amacrine cells synapse onto neurons, which have different combinations of GABAA and GABAC receptors. It is not known, however, how GABAA v...
Introduction: The magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) play a crucial role in control of physiological and pathophysiologiccal condition due to two peptides that they synthesize, i.e. Oxytocin (OXT) and Vasopressin (AVP). The activity of MCNs is regulated by a variety of excitatory and inhibitory inputs. Opioid receptors are one of the important receptors in SON synap...
We examined the effects of spontaneous or evoked episodes of rhythmic activity on synaptic transmission in several spinal pathways of embryonic day 9-12 chick embryos. We compared the amplitude of synaptic potentials evoked by stimulation of the ventrolateral funiculus (VLF), the dorsal or ventral roots, before and after episodes of activity. With the exception of the short-latency responses ev...
Recent evidence suggests that Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors display rapid, short-lasting current facilitation. In this study, we investigated the properties of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic currents in medial septal neurons of the rat in an in vitro slice preparation. Immunocytochemistry with a selective antibody to the GluR2 subunit revealed that both choline acetyltransferase-containing a...
