Facilitatory actions of guanidine on synaptic transmission in mammalian brain slices.
Guanidine administration may be beneficial in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related diseases; however, the actions of guanidine on the mammalian central nervous system have not been investigated. We studied the effects of this compound on neuronal properties and synaptic transmission in isolated slices of guinea pig olfactory cortex using intraand extracellular recording me...
متن کاملThe effect of ketamine on synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in CA1 area of rat hippocampal slices
The effect of ketamine (1-100 µM), which has NMDA receptor antagonist properties, on synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP) in CAl area of rat hippocampus was examined in vitro. Field potentials were recorded in pyramidal cell layer following Schaffer collateral stimulation. Primed-burst stimulation (PEs) was used for induction of LTP. The amplitude of population spiks (PS) was ...
متن کاملPatch clamp techniques used for studying synaptic transmission in slices of mammalian brain.
Procedures are described for recording postsynaptic currents from neurones in slices of rat brain using patch clamp techniques. The method involves cutting brain slices (120-300 microns thick) with a vibrating microtome followed by localization of cell somata, which can be clearly seen with Nomarski differential interference contrast optics in the light microscope. Tissue covering the identifie...
متن کاملFacilitatory actions of serotonin type 3 receptors on GABAergic inhibitory synaptic transmission in the spinal superficial dorsal horn.
Analgesic effects of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) type 3 (5-HT3) receptors may involve the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the spinal dorsal horn. However, the precise synaptic mechanisms for 5-HT3 receptor-mediated spinal analgesia are not clear. In this study, we investigated whether GABAergic neurons in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH) express functional 5-HT3 recepto...
متن کاملActions of general anaesthetics on synaptic transmission in the CNS.
This article reviews the actions of general anaesthetics on synapses in the mammalian central nervous system. It is shown that during general anaesthesia, anaesthetics act primarily on the chemical transmission process itself and do not affect the conduction of impulses in nerve axons or change the electrical excitability of neurones. Virtually all general anaesthetics depress excitatory synapt...
