Role of inhibitory neurotransmission in the control of canine hypoglossal motoneuron activity in vivo.
Hypoglossal motoneurons (HMNs) innervate all tongue muscles and are vital for maintenance of upper airway patency during inspiration. The relative contributions of the various synaptic inputs to the spontaneous discharge of HMNs in vivo are incompletely understood, especially at the cellular level. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of endogenously activated GABA(A) and glycine...
متن کاملSerotonergic modulation of inspiratory hypoglossal motoneurons in decerebrate dogs.
Inspiratory hypoglossal motoneurons (IHMNs) maintain upper airway patency. However, this may be compromised during sleep and by sedatives, potent analgesics, and volatile anesthetics by either depression of excitatory or enhancement of inhibitory inputs. In vitro data suggest that serotonin (5-HT), through the 5-HT2A receptor subtype, plays a key role in controlling the excitability of IHMNs. W...
متن کاملInvolvement of GABAergic System in Increased Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Seizure Threshold in Cholestatic Mice
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important inhibitory transmitter in central nervous system and is involved in pathophysiology of epilepsy. Pentylenete-trazole (PTZ), a convulsant agent, partly acts via anion channel of GABAA receptor. Ivermectin, an antiparasitic agent and a GABAA agonist, has anticonvulsant effect in animal seizure models. Cholestasis increases ...
متن کاملAnxiolytic-like Effects and Increase in Locomotor Activity Induced by Infusions of NMDA into the Ventral Hippocampus in Rat: Interaction with GABAergic System
Introduction: In this study, we investigated the role of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the ventral hippocampus (VH) and their possible interactions with GABAA system on anxiety-like behaviors. Methods: We used an elevated-plus maze test (EPM) to assess anxiety-like behaviors and locomotor activity in male Wistar rats. Results: The results showed that intra-VH infusions of diffe...
متن کاملPOSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT OF GABAA RECEPTOR SITES IN CATALEPSY
The present work was performed to show the possible interaction of GAB A, and GABAB receptors in catalepsy. The following results were obtained: 1- Muscimol (MUS), a GABAA agonist, induced catalepsy. This effect was dose-dependent. Baclofen (BAC), a GABAB agonist, had no effect in this respect. 2- Catalepsy induced by muscimol was potentiated by pretreatment of animals with bicuculline (BI...
