Electrotonic Coupling between Pyramidal Neurons in the Neocortex
Electrotonic couplings (i.e., electrical synapses or gap junctions) are fundamental to neuronal synchronization, and thus essential for many physiological functions and pathological disorders. Interneuron electrical synapses have been studied intensively. Although studies on electrotonic couplings between pyramidal cells (PCs) are emerging, particularly in the hippocampus, evidence is still rar...
متن کاملFrequency domain analysis of electrotonic coupling between leech Retzius cells.
Transfer functions of the input impedance Z(f) and coupling ratio H(f) were measured from the paired Retzius cells of leech segmental ganglia, using sinusoidal and pseudorandom test test currents. The data were compared with two classes of linear electric circuit models of electrotonic coupling, one with a purely resistive junction, and the other with a finite equivalent cable coupling the two ...
متن کاملMechanisms of electrical coupling between pyramidal cells.
Direct electrical coupling between neurons can be the result of both electrotonic current transfer through gap junctions and extracellular fields. Intracellular recordings from CA1 pyramidal neurons of rat hippocampal slices showed two different types of small-amplitude coupling potentials: short-duration (5 ms) biphasic spikelets, which resembled differentiated action potentials and long-durat...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent synchrony in locus ceruleus: role of electrotonic coupling.
Electrotonic coupling synchronizes the spontaneous firing of locus ceruleus (LC) neurons in the neonatal rat brain, whereas in adults, synchronous activity is rare. This report examines the role of action potential frequency on synchronous activity in the adult LC. Decreasing the firing frequency in slices from adult animals facilitated the appearance of subthreshold oscillations and increased ...
متن کاملCortical Pyramidal Cells and Fast-spiking Interneurons
21 Tonically-activated neuronal currents mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) 22 have been hypothesized to contribute to normal neuronal function as well as to neuronal 23 pathology resulting from excessive activation of glutamate receptors (e.g., excitotoxicity). While 24 cortical excitatory cells are very vulnerable to excitotoxic insult, the data regarding resistance of 25 inh...
