Differential Responses of Crab Neuromuscular Synapses to Cesium Ion
Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP's) generated in crab muscle fibers by a single motor axon, differ in amplitude and facilitation. Some EPSP's are large at low frequencies of stimulation and show little facilitation; others are smaller and show pronounced facilitation. When K(+) is replaced by Cs(+) in the physiological solution, all EPSP's increase in amplitude, but small EPSP's increas...
متن کاملThe formation of neuromuscular synapses.
The formation of synapses requires a series of steps including the generation of neurons and their target cells, the guidance of axons to their targets, and the induction of a specialized presynaptic terminal and postsynaptic membrane. This review is primarily concerned with the inductive events that lead to postsynaptic differentiation. Because this phase of synapse formation begins only after...
متن کاملDifferential responses of two Iranian rice cultivars to arsenite toxicity
Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid which is usually found in rice fields as a contamination and has negative effects on the plant growth and reduces the crop yield. Similar to heavy metals, the deleterious effects of As may be due to, at least in part, the amount of absorbed As and disturbance of the plant water status. I...
متن کاملNeuromuscular facilitation and asthenic synapses.
Facilitation in neuromuscular junction of frog, i. e. successive enhancement of muscle action potential by repetitive stimulation, has been considered to be due to the recruitment of numbers of muscle fibres excited through junctions. It has been generally accepted that no neuromuscular facilitation is observed in the mammalian junctions (BROWN and HARVEY, 1941), except in curarized or fatigued...
متن کاملNeurotrophins promote maturation of developing neuromuscular synapses.
Although the effects of neurotrophins on survival and differentiation of various neuronal populations have been well studied, little is known about their role in synaptic development and function. We have investigated the long-term effects of neurotrophins in the maturation of neuromuscular synapses in Xenopus nerve-muscle cocultures. BDNF and NT-3, but not NGF, elicited significant changes in ...
