Loss of Presynaptic and Postsynaptic Structures Is Accompanied by Compensatory Increase in Action Potential-Dependent Synaptic Input to Layer V Neocortical Pyramidal Neurons in Aged Rats [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Neuroscience, 2000
Reduction in both presynaptic and postsynaptic structures in the aging neocortex may significantly affect functional synaptic properties in this area. To directly address this issue, we combined whole-cell patch-clamp recording of spontaneously occurring

Distribution of densin in neurons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Densin is a scaffold protein known to associate with key elements of neuronal signaling. The present study examines the distribution of densin at the ultrastructural level in order to reveal potential sites that can support specific interactions of ...

Influence of Mpv17 on Hair-Cell Mitochondrial Homeostasis, Synapse Integrity, and Vulnerability to Damage in the Zebrafish Lateral Line

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Noise exposure is particularly stressful to hair-cell mitochondria, which must produce enough energy to meet high metabolic demands as well as regulate local intracellular Ca2+ concentrations.

Analysis of the slow excitatory postsynaptic potential in bullfrog sympathetic ganglion cells.

open access: yesThe Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1976
The ionic mechanism of the slow excitatory postsynaptic potential (slow EPSP), i.e. the muscarinic action of acetylcholine (ACh), was studied either by stimulating preganglionic nerves or by applying ACh in curarized sympathetic ganglion cells of ...

Functional maps of neocortical local circuitry

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2007
This review aims to summarize data obtained with different techniques to provide a functional map of the local circuit connections made by neocortical neurones, a reference for those interested in cortical circuitry and the numerical information required

Modeling Calcium Dynamics and Inhibition Based Synaptic Plasticity in Dendritic Spines

open access: yesMathematical 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.

Serotonin‐mediated inhibitory postsynaptic potential in guinea‐pig prepositus hypoglossi and feedback inhibition by serotonin.

open access: yesJournal of Physiology, 1990
1. Intracellular recordings were made from neurones of the nucleus prepositus hypoglossi (PH) in slices of guinea‐pig brain. Focal stimulation evoked an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) that was typically 10‐25 mV in amplitude and 1 s in duration.

Brain Dystrophin in Duchenne Dystrophy

open access: yesPediatric 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 ...

Retrograde Synaptic Signaling Mediated by K+ Efflux through Postsynaptic NMDA Receptors

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
Synaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) carry inward Ca2+ current responsible for postsynaptic signaling and plasticity in dendritic spines. Whether the concurrent K+ efflux through the same receptors into the synaptic cleft has a physiological role is not ...

Impairment Mechanisms and Intervention Approaches for Aged Human Neuromuscular Junctions

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a chemical synapse formed between a presynaptic motor neuron and a postsynaptic muscle cell. NMJs in most vertebrate species share many essential features; however, some differences distinguish human NMJs from others ...
