Muscarinic receptor control of pyramidal neuron membrane potential in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in rats.
Damage to the cholinergic input to the prefrontal cortex has been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. Cholinergic endings release acetylcholine, which activates nicotinic and/or G-protein-coupled muscarinic receptors. Muscarinic receptors activate transduction systems, which control cellular effectors that regulate the membrane potential in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) neurons. The mec...
متن کاملRepeated cocaine administration increases membrane excitability of pyramidal neurons in the rat medial prefrontal cortex.
Although the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays a critical role in cocaine addiction, the effects of chronic cocaine on mPFC neurons remain poorly understood. Here, we performed visualized current-clamp recordings to determine the effects of repeated cocaine administration on the membrane excitability of mPFC pyramidal neurons in rat brain slices. Following repeated cocaine administration (1...
متن کاملMorphological and functional reorganization of rat medial prefrontal cortex in neuropathic pain.
Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain that results from lesion or dysfunction of the nervous system. Depression and cognitive decline are often coupled to chronic pain, suggesting the involvement of cortical areas associated with higher cognitive functions. We investigated layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in acute slices of the contralateral medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in the rat spared nerve injur...
متن کاملNeurophysiological and Morphological Plasticity in Rat Hippocampus and Medial Prefrontal Cortex Following Trace Fear Conditioning
The current study utilized trace fear conditioning as a model system to examine how associative learning affects both synaptic and intrinsic plasticity of hippocampal CA1 neurons in the same behavioral characterized rats. Rats received a one-day 10-trial trace fear conditioning, followed by a brief memory test in a novel context the next day. Brain slices were prepared immediately after the tes...
متن کاملStructural Changes in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Anterior Cingulate Cortex of Dehydroepiandrosterone-Induced Wistar Rat Model of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder in women that is associated with an increased risk of infertility. This study aims to evaluate the neurobehavioral and neurochemical changes along with the associated changes in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of the dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced PCOS model rats. Metho...
