1. Effects of intra-dentate gyrus microinjection of myokine irisin on long-term potentiation in male rats
RESUMO A indução de potenciação de longo prazo (LTP) aumenta a capacidade de armazenamento das sinapses no giro denteado (DG) do hipocampo. A irisina é uma miocina gerada a partir do FNDC5 (um precursor genético) durante o exercício. Embora a administração intra-Cornu Ammonis1 de irisina fortaleça a LTP em camundongos com doença de Alzheimer, os e

2. Reduced hippocampal GABAergic function in Wistar audiogenic rats
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder associated with excitatory and inhibitory imbalance within the underlying neural network. This study evaluated inhibitory γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA)ergic modulation in the CA1 region of the hippocampus of male Wistar rats and Wistar audiogenic rats (aged 90 ± 3 days), a strain of inbred animals susceptible to audiogenic

3. Study of antinociceptive and antiinflammatory monoterpene a,b-epoxy-carvone and its effect on glutamatergic neurotransmission. / Estudo da atividade antinociceptiva e anti-inflamatória do monoterpeno a,b-Epoxi-carvona e seu efeito sobre a neurotransmissão glutamatérgica
The a, b-epoxy-carvone (EC) monoterpene is found in many essential oils from plants, but can also be obtained through organic synthesis from the R-(-)-carvone. Previous studies have demonstrated that this compound exerts depressant effect on central nervous system (CNS), and is also known to have anticonvulsant effects, antioxidant and antimicrobial activiti

4. Electrophysiological evidence for the presence of NR2C subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in rat neurons of the nucleus tractus solitarius
The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) plays an important role in the control of autonomic reflex functions. Glutamate, acting on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA ionotropic receptors, is the major neurotransmitter in this nucleus, and the relative contribution of each receptor to signal transmission is unclear. We have examined NMDA excitatory postsyn

5. Avermectin B1a irreversibly blocks postsynaptic potentials at the lobster neuromuscular junction by reducing muscle membrane resistance.
Avermectin B1a, a macrocyclic lactone with broad spectrum anthelmintic activity, affects neuromuscular transmission in the lobster stretcher muscle. Perfusion of the muscle with 1-10 microgram of the drug per ml eliminates inhibitory postsynaptic potentials within a few minutes. Intracellularly recorded excitatory postsynaptic potentials are gradually reduce

6. Crossed actions of group I muscle afferents in the cat.
Reflex actions evoked by electrical stimulation of contralateral quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius-soleus muscle afferents were investigated using intracellular recording from motoneurones, in chloralose-anaesthetized, acute, low spinal cats. Contralateral group I afferents were found to evoke excitatory post-synaptic potentials only occasionally. Cont

7. P-type Ca2+ channels mediate excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmitter release in crayfish muscle.
The toxin fraction (FTX) and peptide omega-Aga-IVA from the venom of the funnel-web spider Agelenopsis aperta, as well as a synthetic analogue of FTX, specifically block the P-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel (VDCC). The effects of these toxins on synaptic transmission were studied in the neuromuscular synapses of the crayfish opener muscle, which has a s

8. Active summation of excitatory postsynaptic potentials in hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons
The manner in which the thousands of synaptic inputs received by a pyramidal neuron are summed is critical both to our understanding of the computations that may be performed by single neurons and of the codes used by neurons to transmit information. Recent work on pyramidal cell dendrites has shown that subthreshold synaptic inputs are modulated by voltage-

9. Dual-component amino-acid-mediated synaptic potentials: excitatory drive for swimming in Xenopus embryos.
The neuronal basis of the excitation received by motoneurones during swimming in curarized Xenopus embryos has been investigated further. Extracellular stimulation of axons in the fibre tracts of the spinal cord has been used to evoke unitary excitatory post-synaptic potentials (p.s.p.s) in motoneurones. The p.s.p.s. had a rise time of 3-5 ms and a long fall

10. Red nucleus inputs to retractor bulbi motoneurones in the cat.
Rubral projections to retractor bulbi motoneurones were investigated by intracellular recording in the accessory abducens nucleus in the cat. Their post-synaptic effects were compared with those of trigeminal afferent pathways. Post-synaptic potentials evoked by stimulation of the contralateral red nucleus were predominantly excitatory, with latencies in the

11. Synaptic excitation of inhibitory cells by single CA3 hippocampal pyramidal cells of the guinea-pig in vitro.
1. In simultaneous recordings from pairs of neurones in hippocampal slices from guinea-pigs, single action potentials fired by CA3 pyramidal cells could initiate inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) in nearby pyramidal cells. 2. The latencies of these IPSPs could be as short as 3 ms. However, they were mediated disynaptically via chemical, excitatory s

12. Local synaptic release of glutamate from neurons in the rat hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.
1. The hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) contains neuroendocrine neurons that regulate endocrine secretions by releasing substances which control anterior pituitary hormonal release into the portal blood stream. Many neuroactive substances have been identified in the ARC, but the existence of excitatory neurons in the ARC and the identity of an excitatory t
