1. Gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA(A)) receptor-mediated inhibition of pyramidal neuron dendrites was studied in area CA1 of the rat hippocampal slice preparation with the use of intracellular and extracellular recording and one-dimensional current…
1. Activation of GABA(A) receptors can produce both hyperpolarizing and depolarizing responses in CA1 pyramidal cells. The hyperpolarizing response is mediated by a Cl- conductance, but the ionic basis of the depolarizing response is not clear. We…
The mechanism of disinhibition produced by opioid peptides was studied using intracellular recording in area CA1 of rat hippocampal slices. The mu-selective opioid peptide [D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly-ol5]-enkephalin (DAGO) reversibly depressed…
The effects of the GABAB receptor antagonist 2-hydroxy-saclofen were studied using intracellular recording of synaptic potential from CA1 hippocampal neurons.
The mechanism of disinhibition produced by (+/-)-baclofen was studied using intracellular recording in area CA1 of rat hippocampal slices. Baclofen reversibly depressed monosynaptic IPSPs evoked by direct activation of interneurons in the presence of…
The effects of adenosine on inhibitory synaptic transmission in area CA1 were examined using the rat hippocampal slice preparation and intracellular recording. Adenosine did not change fast inhibitory synaptic potentials (IPSPs) but depressed late…
1. Activation of GABAA receptors can produce both hyperpolarizing and depolarizing responses in CA1 pyramidal cells. The hyperpolarizing response is mediated by a Cl- conductance, but the ionic basis of the depolarizing response is not clear. We…
1. gamma-Aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor-mediated inhibition of pyramidal neuron dendrites was studied in area CA1 of the rat hippocampal slice preparation with the use of intracellular and extracellular recording and one-dimensional current…
The possibility that zinc (Zn2+) induces giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs) by blocking pre- and postsynaptic gamma-aminobutyric acidB (GABAB) receptors in area CA1 of rat hippocampal slices was investigated. Monosynaptic GABAA receptor-mediated…
We studied the effects of carbamylcholine (carbachol; CCh) on monosynaptic inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) evoked in the presence of the excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX) and…
