The opener muscle in the walking legs of the crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is innervated by only one excitatory motor neuron, yet excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) of proximal fibers are eightfold larger than those of central muscle fibers at low frequencies of activation, due in large measure to differences in presynaptic properties. We investigated quantal release properties, calciu...

Epilepsy represents a personal and major community burden because about one-third of epileptic patients remain resistant to medical treatment. Flupirtine, as potassium channel opener, can be rational template for the treatment epilepsy. To investigate flupirtine +/- celecoxib versus diazepam anticonvulsant role on induced epilepsy in mice. Generalized seizures status epilepticus were by pentyle...

Intracellular recordings at the neuromuscular junction of the dactyl opener muscle and the abdominal phasic flexor muscle of intermolt lobsters were made in the presence and absence of the steroid hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE). Evoked excitatory junctional potentials (EJPs) were recorded from both muscles; spontaneous miniature excitatory junctional potentials (MEJPs) were recorded from t...

Розглянуто concert-opener «Inthebeginning» – оркестровий твір сучасного фінського композитора Ейноюхані Раутаваари. Актуальність і новизна дослідження зумовлюються недостатністю наукового висвітлення фінської музичної культури та зокрема авторського доробку Е. Раутаваари в українському музикознавстві, а також відсутністю аналітичного аналізу концерту навіть у європейському гуманітарному простор...
