Convergence of multimodal sensory input onto higher-level neurons of the crayfish olfactory pathway.
Intracellular electrophysiological studies of lateral protocerebral interneurons (LPIs) in the crayfish Procambarus clarkii have revealed convergence of multimodal sensory information onto these higher-level cells of the crustacean central olfactory pathway. Antennular stimulation by odors or electrical shocks generates excitatory-inhibitory sequences in some LPIs as does electrical or hydrodyn...
متن کاملAtomoxetine modulates spontaneous and sensory-evoked discharge of locus coeruleus noradrenergic neurons.
Atomoxetine (ATM) is a potent norepinephrine (NE) uptake inhibitor and increases both NE and dopamine synaptic levels in prefrontal cortex, where it is thought to exert its beneficial effects on attention and impulsivity. At the behavioral level, ATM has been shown to cause improvements on the measures of executive functions, such as response inhibition, working memory and attentional set shift...
متن کاملEffect of sensory deprivation and Locus Coeruleus (LC) electrical stimulation on the response properties of layer IV barrel cortex neurons in male rats
Introduction: Barrel cortex of rodents is responsible for sensory information processing from muzzle whiskers. Locus coeruleus (LC) as the main source of norepinephrine (NE) in the cortex, is effective on the sensory information processing. Methods: Rats were divided to 2 groups. One group underwent sensory deprivation (P4) and the other group served as control and did not undergo sensory d...
متن کاملLocus coeruleus neurons: cessation of activity during cataplexy.
Cataplexy, a symptom of narcolepsy, is a loss of muscle tone usually triggered by sudden, emotionally significant stimuli. We now report that locus coeruleus neurons cease discharge throughout cataplexy periods in canine narcoleptics. Locus coeruleus discharge rates during cataplexy were as low as or lower than those seen during rapid-eye-movement sleep. Prazosin, an alpha1 antagonist, and phys...
