Acid-sensing ion channels 1a (ASIC1a) inhibit neuromuscular transmission in female mice [PDF]

, 2014
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC) open in response to extracellular acidosis. ASIC1a, a particular subtype of these channels, has been described to have a postsynaptic distribution in the brain, being involved not only in ischemia and epilepsy, but also ...

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]

, 2001
The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its contribution to cortical receptive field properties is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic ...

Resonant spike propagation in coupled neurons with subthreshold activity

, 2008
Màster en Biofísica, curs 2006-2007Chemical coupling between neurons is only active when the presynaptic neuron is firing, and thus it does not allow for the propagation of subthreshold activity.

Xenon inhibits excitatory but not inhibitory transmission in rat spinal cord dorsal horn neurons

Molecular Pain, 2010
Background The molecular targets for the promising gaseous anaesthetic xenon are still under investigation. Most studies identify N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors as the primary molecular target for xenon, but the role of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl ...
