Evidence for mu opiate receptors on inhibitory terminals in area CA1 of rat hippocampus.

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…

Baclofen-induced disinhibition in area CA1 of rat hippocampus is resistant to extracellular Ba2+.

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…

Adenosine depresses excitatory but not fast inhibitory synaptic transmission in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus.

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…

Contribution of NMDA and AMPA receptors to temporal patterning of auditory responses in the inferior colliculus.

Although NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are associated with synaptic plasticity, they form an essential part of responses to sensory stimuli. We compared contributions of glutamatergic NMDARs and AMPA receptors (AMPARs) to auditory responses in the inferior…

Hyperpolarizing and depolarizing GABAA receptor-mediated dendritic inhibition in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus.

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…

L-type calcium channels refine the neural population code of sound level.

The coding of sound level by ensembles of neurons improves the accuracy with which listeners identify how loud a sound is. In the auditory system, the rate at which neurons fire in response to changes in sound level is shaped by local networks.…

GABAa receptor-mediated field potentials are enhanced in area CA1 following prenatal cocaine exposure.

Prenatal cocaine exposure results in several documented changes in neurotransmitter receptor number and structure. Increases have been reported for cortical catecholamine and indoleamine receptor number and binding affinity, in the subunit expression…

Localization and function of NK(3) subtype tachykinin receptors of layer V pyramidal neurons of the guinea-pig medial prefrontal cortex.

The NK(3) subtype of tachykinin receptor has been implicated as a modulator of synaptic transmission in several brain regions, including the cerebral cortex. The localization and expression of NK(3) receptors within the brain vary from species to…

Induction of giant depolarizing potentials by zinc in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus does not result from block of GABAB receptors.

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…

Cholinergic disinhibition in area CA1 of the rat hippocampus is not mediated by receptors located on inhibitory neurons.

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…

The role of NMDA receptors in long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) in rat visual cortex.

The purpose of the present study was to improve our understanding of the role of NMDA receptors in neocortical synaptic plasticity. In slices of rat visual cortex the field potential elicited in layer III in response to white matter stimulation…
