Evidence for synaptotagmin as an inhibitory clamp on synaptic vesicle release in Aplysia neurons.
While previous studies have demonstrated that synaptotagmin plays an essential role in evoked neurotransmitter release, it has been difficult to determine whether it acts to facilitate or inhibit release. To address this question, we used acute genetic manipulations to alter the expression of synaptotagmin in Aplysia neurons. Transient overexpression of synaptotagmin in acutely dissected cholin...
متن کاملAn Extended Analytic Expression for the Membrane Potential Distribution of Conductance-Based Synaptic Noise
Synaptically generated subthreshold membrane potential (Vm) fluctuations can be characterized within the framework of stochastic calculus. It is possible to obtain analytic expressions for the steady-state Vm distribution, even in the case of conductance-based synaptic currents. However, as we show here, the analytic expressions obtained may substantially deviate from numerical solutions if the...
متن کاملTemperature Effects on Pacemaker Generation, Membrane Potential, and Critical Firing Threshold in Aplysia Neurons
Temperature increases cause a regular and reproducible increase in the frequency of generation of pacemaker potentials in most Aplysia neurons specialized for this type of activity which can only be explained as a direct stimulating effect of temperature upon the ionic mechanisms responsible for pacemaker potentials. At the same time all cells in the visceral ganglion undergo a membrane potenti...
متن کاملFurther Observations on the Serotonergic Cerebral Neurones of Helisoma (mollusca, Gastropoda): the Case for Homology with the Metacerebral Giant Cells
A bilaterally symmetrical pair of serotonergic neurones in the cerebral ganglia of the snail Helisoma trivolvis has major features in common with the serotonergic cerebral cells of other gastropods, including those of Helix and Aplysia. The cells were found to receive a high level of inhibitory synaptic activity which is important in determining their firing level. In the cells of isolated cere...
متن کاملEpileptogenic effects of radiographic contrast agents: experimental study.
Electrical activity in cells directly exposed to water-soluble radiographic contrast agents was investigated by intracellular recordings from neurons of the abdominal ganglia of Aplysia. Measurements of membrane resting potential, membrane conductance, synaptic and action potential configuration, and spontaneous electrical activity were performed. Test solutions included sodium diatrizoate, meg...
