Evaluation of Synapse Density in Hippocampal Rodent Brain Slices
In the brain, synapses are specialized junctions between neurons, determining the strength and spread of neuronal signaling. The number of synapses is tightly regulated during development and neuronal maturation. Importantly, deficits in synapse number can lead to cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, the evaluation of synapse number is an integral part of neurobiology. However, as synapses are sma...
متن کاملElectrophysiological characteristics of hippocampal CA1 neurons after spreading depression-triggered epileptic activity in brain slices
Introduction: A close link between spreading depression (SD) and several neurological diseases such as epilepsy could be demonstrated in many experimental studies. Epilepsy is among the most common brain disorders. Despite a large number of investigations, its mechanisms have not been yet well elucidated. Hippocampus is one of the important structures involved in seizures. The aim of this st...
متن کامل5-HT4R activation in hippocampal brain slices
5-HT4 receptor (5-HT4R) activation induces pro-cognitive effects. This might be related to stimulation of hippocampal acetylcholine (ACh) release, which has been shown for 5-HT4R agonists in in vivo models. We investigated the influence of the 5-HT4R agonists prucalopride and BIMU-8 on ACh release in rat hippocampal brain slices. In contrast to the report by Siniscalchi et al. [1], no facilitat...
متن کاملFMRI of hippocampal deep brain stimulation in the rodent brain
Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, the underlying mechanism of action of DBS remains unknown. The effect of DBS has been studied primarily by direct neural recording studies, which lack the ability to elucidate DBS related responses on a whole-brain scale. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) reflects ch...
متن کاملA Six-step Approach to Gain Higher Quality Results From Organotypic Hippocampal Brain Slices in a Traumatic Brain Injury Model
Background: Organotypic Hippocampal Brain Slices (OHBS) provide a better alternative to in vivo models to scrutinize Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). We followed a well-established TBI protocol but noticed that several factors might influence the results in such a set-up. Here, we describe a structured approach to generate more comparable results and discuss why specific eligibility criteria shoul...
