Two mechanisms that raise free intracellular calcium in rat hippocampal neurons during hypoosmotic and low NaCl treatment.
Previous studies have shown that exposing hippocampal slices to low osmolarity (pi(o)) or to low extracellular NaCl concentration ([NaCl](o)) enhances synaptic transmission and also causes interstitial calcium ([Ca(2+)](o)) to decrease. Reduction of [Ca(2+)](o) suggests cellular uptake and could explain the potentiation of synaptic transmission. We measured intracellular calcium activity ([Ca(2...
متن کاملFast excitatory synaptic transmission mediated by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in Drosophila neurons.
Difficulty in recording from single neurons in vivo has precluded functional analyses of transmission at central synapses in Drosophila, where the neurotransmitters and receptors mediating fast synaptic transmission have yet to be identified. Here we demonstrate that spontaneously active synaptic connections form between cultured neurons prepared from wild-type embryos and provide the first dir...
متن کاملModulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by intracellular calcium and cyclic AMP in Lymnaea stagnalis neurones.
Acetylcholine (ACh)-receptor ion channels were investigated under the modulatory action of calcium and cyclic AMP in completely isolated Lymnaea stagnalis neurones using the noise analysis technique. Elevation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in dialyzed neurones produced a reduction in the amplitude of ACh induced current accompanied by slight decrease in the mean channel open time and ...
متن کاملRegulation of cytoplasmic calcium levels by two nitric oxide receptors.
We examined the effects of dissolved nitric oxide (NO) gas on cytoplasmic calcium levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) in C6 glioma cells under anoxic conditions. The maximum elevation (27 +/- 3 nM) of [Ca(2+)](i) was reached at 10 microM NO. A second application of NO was ineffective if the first was >0.5 microM. The NO donor diethylamine/NO mimicked the effects of NO. Acute exposure of the cells to low calci...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent inward current induced by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in mesencephalic dopamine neurons
1. Summary Mesencephalic dopamine (DA) neurons receive a keen interest of many researchers because of their physiological and patho-physiological importance. Especially, the mechanism to modulate their firing pattern has been investigated for many years but still remains elusive. DA neurons are supposed to be modulated by excitatory and inhibitory inputs from other parts of the brain. It has be...
