Intraneuronal [Ca2+] changes induced by 2-deoxy-D-glucose in rat hippocampal slices.
Temporary replacement of glucose by 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG; but not sucrose) is followed by long-term potentiation of CA1 synaptic transmission (2-DG LTP), which is Ca2+-dependent and is prevented by dantrolene or N-methyl--aspartate (NMDA) antagonists. To clarify the mechanism of action of 2-DG, we monitored [Ca2+]i while replacing glucose with 2-DG or sucrose. In slices (from Wistar rats) kept ...
متن کاملSynaptic activation of GABAA receptors induces neuronal uptake of Ca2+ in adult rat hippocampal slices.
Synaptically evoked transmembrane movements of Ca2+ in the adult CNS have almost exclusively been attributed to activation of glutamate receptor channels and the consequent triggering of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). Using microelectrodes for measuring free extracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]o) and extracellular space (ECS) volume, we show here for the first time that synaptic stimulation of g...
متن کاملAutophosphorylation of type II Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase in cultures of postnatal rat hippocampal slices.
Autophosphorylation of Thr286 on type II Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaM kinase) in vitro causes kinase activity to become partially independent of Ca2+. Here we report that Thr286 is the major CaM kinase autophosphorylation site occupied in situ in "organotypic" hippocampal cultures. Measurement of Ca(2+)-independent CaM kinase activity revealed that approximately one-third of th...
متن کاملDelayed signal propagation via CA2 in rat hippocampal slices revealed by optical recording.
Signal propagation from mossy fibers to CA1 neurons was investigated in rat hippocampal slices by a combination of electrical and optical recordings. The slices were prepared by oblique sectioning of the middle part of the hippocampus to preserve fiber connections. The mossy fibers were stimulated to induce population spikes (PSs) and excitatory postsynaptic potentials in the middle part of the...
متن کاملMethylmercury-induced increase of intracellular Ca2+ increases spontaneous synaptic current frequency in rat cerebellar slices.
The relationship between increased intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and changes in spontaneous synaptic current frequency caused by the neurotoxicant methylmercury (MeHg) was examined in Purkinje cells of cerebellar slices using confocal microscopy and whole-cell recording. MeHg (10-100 microM) stimulated and then suppressed completely the frequency of spontaneous excitatory an...
