Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase recently implicated in biochemical, physiological, and behavioral responses to ethanol. Thus, manipulation of ALK signaling may represent a novel approach to treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). Ethanol induces adaptations in glutamatergic synapses onto nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh) medium spiny neurons (MSNs), and putative target...
Linking this article to brain theory are questions regarding generalizations to other discharges and synapses, long-term changes (neuromodulation, plasticity), participating membrane and molecular mechanisms, and the roles of deterministic issues and noise. Coding fidelity is useful biologically in some sensory or motor situations (although not always); its compensation poses an interesting pro...
Cerebellar Purkinje cells are known to receive strong excitatory input from two major pathways originating outside the cerebellum and inhibitory input from two types of neurons in the cerebellar cortex. The functions and synaptic strengths of these pathways are only partially known. We have used the patch-clamp technique applied to Purkinje cells in thin slices of rat cerebellum to measure dire...
BACKGROUND Ketamine is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic which produces dissociation anesthesia, analgesia, and amnesia. The mechanism of ketamine-induced synaptic inhibition in high-level cortical areas is still unknown. We aimed to elucidate the effects of different concentrations of ketamine on the glutamatergic synaptic transmission of the neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex by...
1. The heartbeat central pattern-generating network of the medicinal leech contains elemental neural oscillators, comprising reciprocally inhibitory pairs of segmental heart interneurons, that use graded as well as spike-mediated synaptic transmission. We are in the process of developing a general computer model of this pattern generator. Our modeling goal is to explore the interaction of membr...
The effects of the neurosteroid 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-pregnane-20-one (allopregnanolone) on synaptic and GABA-evoked currents in acutely dissociated neurons from the medial preoptic nucleus of rat were investigated by perforated-patch recordings under voltage-clamp conditions. The effect of 2.0 microM allopregnanolone on GABA-evoked currents depended strongly on the GABA concentration: the curr...
Prevailing literature supports the idea that common general anesthetics (GAs) cause long-term cognitive changes and neurodegeneration in the developing mammalian brain, especially in the thalamus. However, the possible role of GAs in modifying ion channels that control neuronal excitability has not been taken into consideration. Here we show that rats exposed to GAs at postnatal day 7 display a...
During wakefulness, neocortical neurons are subjected to an intense synaptic bombardment. To assess the consequences of this background activity for the integrative properties of pyramidal neurons, we constrained biophysical models with in vivo intracellular data obtained in anesthetized cats during periods of intense network activity similar to that observed in the waking state. In pyramidal c...
In the last few decades, knowledge about astrocytic functions has significantly increased. It was demonstrated that astrocytes are not passive elements of the central nervous system (CNS), but active partners of neurons. There is a growing body of knowledge about the calcium excitability of astrocytes, the actions of different gliotransmitters and their release mechanisms, as well as the partic...
Inhibitory transmission in the hippocampus is predominantly GABAergic, but electrophysiological data evidenced strychnine-sensitive glycine-induced currents. However, synaptic currents have not been reported. Here, we describe, for the first time, the presence of GlyR clusters in several areas of the hippocampus as well as in cultured hippocampal neurons. In contrast with spinal cord, hippocamp...
