Voltage sensitivity of NMDA-receptor mediated postsynaptic currents [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research, 1990 Patch-clamp techniques were used to record pharmacologically-isolated N-methyl-D-aspartate-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents (NMDA-EPSCs) from dentate granule cells in thin rat hippocampal slices. Membrane voltage modulated these EPSCs in two ways.

NMDA Currents Modulate the Synaptic Input–Output Functions of Neurons in the Dorsal Nucleus of the Lateral Lemniscus in Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]
, 2011 Neurons in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus (DNLL) receive excitatory and inhibitory inputs from the superior olivary complex (SOC) and convey GABAergic inhibition to the contralateral DNLL and the inferior colliculi.

Enhancement of synchronization in a hybrid neural circuit by spike timing dependent plasticity [PDF]
, 2003 Synchronization of neural activity is fundamental for many functions of the brain. We demonstrate that spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) enhances synchronization (entrainment) in a hybrid circuit composed of a spike generator, a dynamic clamp ...

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels Activated by Evoked Released Protons Modulate Synaptic Transmission at the Mouse Calyx of Held Synapse [PDF]
, 2017 Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) regulate synaptic activities and play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases. We found that these channels can be activated in neurons of the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) of the auditory system in ...

Impulsive SICNNs with chaotic postsynaptic currents
Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B, 2016 In the present study, we investigate the dynamics of shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks (SICNNs) with impulsive effects. We give a mathematical description of the chaos for the multidimensional dynamics of impulsive SICNNs, and prove its existence rigorously by taking advantage of the external inputs.

Agonist-Dependent Postsynaptic Effects of Opioids on Miniature Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2007 Although chronic treatment with morphine is known to alter the function and morphology of excitatory synapses, the effects of other opioids on these synapses are not clear. Here we report distinct effects of several opioids (morphine, [d-ala2,me-phe4,gly5-ol]enkephalin (DAMGO), and etorphine) on miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) in ...

Mechanisms of synaptic depression at the hair cell ribbon synapse that support auditory nerve function [PDF]
, 2017 Inner hair cells (IHCs) in the cochlea are the mammalian phono-receptors, transducing sound energy into graded changes in membrane potentials, the so called “receptor potentials.” Ribbon synapses between IHCs and auditory nerve neurons are responsible ...

Effects of guanidine on synaptic transmission in the spinal cord of the frog [PDF]
, 1977 The effects of guanidine on motoneurons of the isolated frog spinal cord were studied by adding the drug to the solution bathing the cord during intracellular recording. Guanidine (5·10–4 M) did not alter the membrane potential of motoneurons.
