introduction: anethole is the main constituent of pimpinella anisum l. (anise), a herbaceous annual plant which has several therapeutic effects. in the folk medicine, anise is employed as an antiepileptic drug. specifically, this study was focused on the cellular effect of anethole, an aromatic compound in essential oils from anise and camphor. anethole has various physiological effects on the ...

abstract background: understanding the electrophysiological effects of toxins, may facilitate new drugs discovery. buthotusschach (bs) has been shown to be one of the most dangerous scorpions in tropical part of iran. present study was aimed to investigate the electrophysiological effects of two active fractions (f4 and f6) isolated from bs scorpion toxin on action potential (ap) characteristic...

Intracellular recording is the measurement of voltage or current across the membrane of a cell. It typically involves an electrode inserted in the cell and a reference electrode outside the cell. The electrodes are connected to an amplifier to measure the membrane potential, possibly in response to a current injected through the intracellular electrode (current clamp), or the current flowing th...

introduction: the main goal of this ex vivo study was to assess and compare the cellular and electrophysiological effects of two dental biomaterials, white mineral trioxide aggregate (wmta) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement, on neuronal cell excitability and electrical properties. materials and methods: a conventional intracellular current clamp technique was used to study the cellular ...

Electrophysiological recordings from behaving animals provide an unparalleled view into the functional role of individual neurons. Intracellular approaches can be especially revealing as they provide information about a neuron's inputs and intrinsic cellular properties, which together determine its spiking output. Recent technical developments have made intracellular recording possible during a...
