Kainate receptor-induced retrograde inhibition of glutamatergic transmission in vasopressin neurons.
Presynaptic kainate receptors (KARs) exert a modulatory action on transmitter release. We here report that applications of agonists of GluK1-containing KARs in the rat supraoptic nucleus has an opposite action on glutamatergic transmission according to the phenotype of the postsynaptic neuron. Whereas glutamate release was facilitated in oxytocin (OT) neurons, it was inhibited in vasopressin (V...
متن کاملGlutamatergic inputs contribute to phasic activity in vasopressin neurons.
Many neurons in the CNS display rhythmic patterns of activity to optimize excitation-secretion coupling. However, the mechanisms of rhythmogenesis are only partially understood. Magnocellular vasopressin (VP) neurons in the hypothalamus display a phasic activity that consists of alternative bursts of action potentials and silent periods. Previous observations from acute slices of adult hypothal...
متن کاملRetrograde opioid signaling regulates glutamatergic transmission in the hypothalamus.
Opioid signaling in the CNS is critical for controlling cellular excitability, yet the conditions under which endogenous opioid peptides are released and the precise mechanisms by which they affect synaptic transmission remain poorly understood. The opioid peptide dynorphin is present in the soma and dendrites of vasopressin neurons in the hypothalamus and dynamically controls the excitability ...
متن کاملCentral cholinesterase inhibition enhances glutamatergic synaptic transmission.
Central cholinergic overstimulation results in prolonged seizures of status epilepticus in humans and experimental animals. Cellular mechanisms of underlying seizures caused by cholinergic stimulation remain uncertain, but enhanced glutamatergic transmission is a potential mechanism. Paraoxon, an organophosphate cholinesterase inhibitor, enhanced glutamatergic transmission on hippocampal granul...
متن کاملDevelopment of glutamatergic synaptic transmission in binaural auditory neurons.
Glutamatergic synaptic transmission is essential for binaural auditory processing in birds and mammals. Using whole cell voltage clamp recordings, we characterized the development of synaptic ionotropic glutamate receptor (iGluR) function from auditory neurons in the chick nucleus laminaris (NL), the first nucleus responsible for binaural processing. We show that synaptic transmission is mediat...
