چکیده

An acutely acquired dependence was investigated in rat hippocampal slices after brief exposure to morphine. Morphine augmented the population spike amplitude. Naloxone not only reversed the augmentation but decreased the amplitude to a level below that of the control. The inhibitory effect of naloxone correlated with the period of preincubation with morphine. These results suggested that the decreased response may indicate the withdrawal state acquired in vitro.

The effects of chronic morphine administration on LTP in hippocampal CA1 area of rat

  The effects of chronic morphine administration on the development of long-term potentiation (LTP) were investigated at the Schaffer collateral-CA1 pyramidal cell synapses of the rat hippocampal slices using primed-bursts tetanic stimulation. Significant enhancement of orthodromic population spike (OPS) was found for all stimulus intensities after tetanic stimulation. OPS enhancement was great...

Effects of Administration of Perinatal Bupropion on the Population Spike Amplitude in Neonatal Rat Hippocampal Slices

Objective(s) Bupropion is an atypical antidepressant that is widely used in smoke cessation under FDA approval. The study of synaptic effects of bupropion can help to finding out its mechanism(s) for stopping nicotine dependence. In this study the effects of perinatal bupropion on the population spike (PS) amplitude of neonates were investigated. Materials and Methods Hippocampal slices were...

Effects of resveratrol on intrinsic neuronal properties of CA1 pyramidal neurons in rat hippocampal slices

Introduction: Resveratrol (3,5,4-trihydroxystilbene) a non-flavonoid polyphenol found in some plants like grapes, peanuts and pomegranates, possesses a wide range of biological effects. Evidence indicates that resveratrol has beneficial effects on nervous system to induce neuroprotection. However, the cellular mechanisms of the effects are not fully determined. In the present study, the cellula...

Augmentation of paired pulse index as short-term plasticity due to morphine dependence

Abstract* Introduction: Chronic morphine exposure can cause addiction and affect synaptic plasticity, but the underlying neural mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unknown. Herein we used electrophysiologic approaches in hippocampal CA1 area to examine the effect of chronic morphine administration on short-term plasticity. Methods: Experiments were carried out on hippocampal slices taken f...
