Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), but LTP is normal in mice with a targeted mutation in the neuronal form of NO synthase (nNOS-). LTP was also normal in mice with a targeted mutation in endothelial NOS (eNOS-), but LTP in stratum radiatum of CA1 was significantly reduced in doubly mutant mice (nNOS-/eNOS-). By contrast, LTP in stratum oriens was ...

Several types of hippocampal interneurons exhibit a form of long-term potentiation (LTP) that depends on Ca(2+)-permeable AMPA receptors and group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. Several sources of evidence point to a presynaptic locus of LTP maintenance. The retrograde factor that triggers the expression of LTP remains unidentified. Here, we show that trains of action potentials in putativ...

This article discusses the importance of representatives Braconidae family in regulating number harmful moths various agrobiocenoses. In order to determine species composition and biological features development entomophage Tashkent region, samples eggs, larvae butterflies occurring moth. Along with this, moth affected by entomophages were collected determined which they affected. As a result, ...

Sharp wave-associated ∼200-Hz ripple oscillations in the hippocampus have been implicated in the consolidation of memories. However, knowledge on mechanisms underlying ripples is still scarce, in particular with respect to synaptic involvement of specific cell types. Here, we used cell-attached and whole-cell recordings in vitro to study activity of pyramidal cells and oriens-lacunosum-molecula...

This volume marks a double anniversary. It is the 50th volume of Oriens Extremus, which has been published at the University of Hamburg since 1954. And its publication coincides with the 70th birthday of Hans Stumpfeldt, Emeritus Professor of Sinology at this university and long-time editor of Oriens Extremus. It is most fitting that this volume be dedicated to him, who has set the tone and tem...

Based on responses to metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) activation, we have characterized two distinct classes of interneuron in stratum (st.) oriens of the CA1 region of hippocampus. One type of interneuron was strongly excited by 1S,3R-aminocyclopentane dicarboxylic acid (ACPD), responding with a large inward current accompanied by increased baseline noise and prominent current oscillat...

objective(s):this study was carried out to evaluate the effect of maternal morphine exposure during gestational and lactation period on pyramidal neurons of hippocampus in 18 and 32 day mice offspring. materials and methods: thirty female mice were randomly allocated into cases and controls. in case group, animals received morphinesulfate 10 mg/kg.body weight intraperitoneally during 7 days bef...
