EPSPs in rat neocortical neurons in vitro. II. Involvement of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in the generation of EPSPs [PDF]
, 1989 1. Intracellular recordings were obtained from neurons in layer II/III of rat frontal cortex. Single-electrode current- and voltage-clamp techniques were employed to compare the sensitivity of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and ...

Characteristics of long-duration inhibitory postsynaptic potentials in rat neocortical neurons in vitro [PDF]
, 1987 1. The characteristics of long-duration inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (l-IPSPs) which are evoked in rat frontal neocortical neurons by local electrical stimulation were investigated with intracellular recordings from anin vitro slice preparation.

Enhanced sensitivity of postsynaptic serotonin-1A receptors in rats and mice with high trait aggression [PDF]
, 2001 Individual differences in aggressive behaviour have been linked to variability in central serotonergic activity, both in humans and animals. A previous experiment in mice, selectively bred for high or low levels of aggression, showed an up-regulation of ...

Modeling Calcium Dynamics and Inhibition Based Synaptic Plasticity in Dendritic Spines
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2014 Inhibitory synapses through GABAergic channels not only change spine's calcium dynamics but also modulate postsynaptic current mediated through glutamate receptors.

Brain Dystrophin in Duchenne Dystrophy
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 1995 To define the potential pathogenic role of dystrophin deficiency in the cognitive impairment characteristic of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the protein in brain cortical synapses of an 8-year-old patient examined at autopsy and an age-matched ...

Dendritic spines as chemical and electrical compartments : a two-photon imaging study in the hippocampus of the rat [PDF]
, 2008 Most excitatory synapses are located on small dendritic protrusions called spines. So far, the function of dendritic spines is not fully understood. Imaging experiments have shown that spines can compartmentalize second messengers such as Ca2+.
