Pentobarbital: Selective Depression of Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials
Science, 1973The effects of pentobarbital (Nembutal) on synaptic transmission and postsynaptic potentials were studied by the use of several invertebrate preparations. Pentobarbital selectively and reversibly depressed both excitatory postsynaptic potentials and sodium-dependent postsynaptic responses to putative excitatory transmitters without affecting either ...

Primary afferent hyperpolarization without postsynaptic potentiation
Experimental Neurology, 1973Abstract Tetanization of a cutaneous afferent pathway does not lead to potentiation of postsynaptic activity but it produces a decrease in excitability of the pathway's central terminals and an increase in the threshold of the dorsal root reflexes evoked in the same fibers by stimulation of adjacent pathways.

Self-modeling structure of evoked postsynaptic potentials
Synapse, 2006With the simplicity of the synaptic structure and physiology at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of crayfish and the given transmitter being released in quantal packets, a detailed assessment in the fundamental processes of chemical synaptic transmission is possible. Since the quantal event is the basic element of transmission, we consider an approach to

Vestibular-evoked postsynaptic potentials in Deiters neurones
Experimental Brain Research, 1969Stimulation of the vestibular nerve induced EPSPs monosynaptically in 29% of cat's Deiters neurones sampled on the ipsilateral side. These EPSPs started with latencies of 0.6–1.0 msec, rose sharply with a summit time of 0.5 msec and decayed exponentially with a time constant of 0.9–1.7 msec. Then amplitudes were graded finely according to the intensity

Postsynaptic potentials of bulbar respiratory neurons of the turtle
Respiration Physiology, 1986Membrane potentials of bulbar respiratory neurons of Pseudemys scripta were recorded from unanesthetized, decerebrate animals. Efferent neurograms were recorded from the serratus magnus (inspiratory) and pectoralis (expiratory) nerves. The animals were paralyzed and ventilated by a servo-respirator driven by the pectoralis neurogram to mimic the ...

Postsynaptic Mechanisms Involved in Long-Term Potentiation
1990Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a persistent enhancement of synaptic transmission observed at excitatory synapses in the mammalian hippocampus (Bliss and Lomo, 1973). This phenomenon is one of the most striking examples of synaptic plasticity in the vertebrate brain, and has been intensively studied as a model for learning and memory.

Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials of hypoglossal motoneurons of the cat
Experimental Neurology, 1972Abstract The hypoglossal nerve of the cat contains some afferent fibers, but the role of these afferents in controlling hypoglossal motoneuron activity has not yet been analyzed. The effect of hypoglossal nerve stimulation on activity of hypoglossal motoneurons was investigated using microelectrode technique.

Block of glutamate transporters potentiates postsynaptic excitation
Neuron, 1994We have studied the effects of blockers of glutamate transporters on excitatory synaptic transmission to determine whether transporters increase the clearance rate of transmitter from the synaptic cleft on the millisecond time scale. The transporter blockers Li+ and THA increased the amplitude, but not the decay time, of spontaneous miniature AMPA ...

Postsynaptic Membrane Fusion and Long-Term Potentiation
Science, 1998The possibility that membrane fusion events in the postsynaptic cell may be required for the change in synaptic strength resulting from long-term potentiation (LTP) was examined. Introducing substances into the postsynaptic cell that block membrane fusion at a number of different steps reduced LTP.

Postsynaptic potentials in cat visual cortex
NeuroReport, 1992During the investigation of visually evoked postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) of visual cortical neurons, we recorded cell activity under different levels of membrane potential. In some cases, however, dependence of these PSPs on the level of membrane polarization appears to be inconsistent with the conventional scheme. One disagreement was the reduction,
