Properties of the low threshold Ca current in single frog atrial cardiomyocytes. A comparison with the high threshold Ca current
The properties of the low threshold Ca current (ICaT) in bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) isolated atrial cardiomyocytes were studied using the whole-cell recording patch-clamp technique and compared with those of the high threshold Ca current (ICaL). In 91% of atrial cells we observed both ICaT and ICaL when collagenase and trypsin were used to dissociate the cells. But when pronase was used, only ...
متن کاملAvailability of Low-Threshold Ca Current in Retinal Ganglion Cells
Lee, Sherwin C., Yuki Hayashida, and Andrew T. Ishida. Availability of low-threshold Ca current in retinal ganglion cells. J Neurophysiol 90: 3888–3901, 2003; 10.1152/jn.00477.2003. Spiking in central neurons depends on the availability of inward and outward currents activated by depolarization and on the activation and priming of currents by hyperpolarization. Of these processes, priming by hy...
متن کاملAsymmetric Rectangular Waveform in Stimulation with High Frequency Alternating Current Reduces the Threshold for Neural Conduction Block
Introduction Abnormal neural impulses in the nervous system may lead to various diseases and disabilities. High frequency alternating currents (HFAC) has been used to block the propagation of such impulses and improve the symptoms or disabilities. The technique is safe, reversible, and relatively selective, and its reliability, the optimum stimulation parameters, and elimination of the onset re...

متن کاملHigh-threshold K+ current increases gain by offsetting a frequency-dependent increase in low-threshold K+ current.
High-frequency firing neurons are found in numerous central systems, including the auditory brainstem, thalamus, hippocampus, and neocortex. The kinetics of high-threshold K+ currents (IK(HT)) from the Kv3 subfamily has led to the proposal that these channels offset cumulative Na+ current inactivation and stabilize tonic high-frequency firing. However, all high-frequency firing neurons, examine...
