Postnatal developmental alterations in the locus coeruleus neuronal fast excitatory postsynaptic currents mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors of rat

نویسندگان

چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: In the present work, spontaneous postsynaptic currents were assessed to investigate the postnatal development of excitatory postsynaptic currents in locus coeruleus neurons. Methods: In this study, AMPA and NMDA receptor-mediated spontaneous synaptic currents in the neurons of locus coeruleus were assessed using whole cell voltage-clamp recording during the first three weeks. Results: The frequency and amplitude of NMDA sEPSCs and the frequency of AMPA sEPSCs were increased in the second and third postnatal weeks compared with these parameters recorded in the first postnatal week. However, the ratio of the AMPA to NMDA current frequency and amplitude was constant until the 3rd postnatal week. Conclusion: These findings suggest that a vast majority of nascent glutamatergic synapses express both functional AMPA and NMDA receptors in the postnatal locus coeruleus, so that AMPA/NMDA sEPSCs remained constant during this period.

Effects of Ketamine on Neuronal Spontaneous Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents and Miniature Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents in the Somatosensory Cortex of Rats

Background: Ketamine is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic which produces dissociation anesthesia, analgesia, and amnesia. The mechanism of ketamine-induced synaptic inhibition in high-level cortical areas is still unknown. We aimed to elucidate the effects of different concentrations of ketamine on the glutamatergic synaptic transmission of the neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex b...

Is the pain modulatory action of 17β-estradiol in locus coeruleus of male rats is mediated by GABAA receptors?

Introduction: Estradiol is a neuroactive steroid, which is found in several brain areas such as locus coeruleus (LC). Estradiol modulates nociception by binding to its receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membranebound receptors like glutamate and GABAA receptors. LC is involved in noradrenergic descending pain modulation. Methods: In order to study the effect of 17β-estra...
