Neurotransmitters are the molecules that neurons use to communicate with each other and with the other cell types of the nervous system, such as glial cells and cells of the vasculature. The best characterized actions of neurotransmitters are the alteratio ...
VIP-containing cells in the neocortex are intrinsic neurons of the bipolar type, which release VIP through mechanisms that involve Ca2+ and lipoxygenase metabolites. VIP receptors are coupled to cAMP-generating systems that are amplified by various neurotr ...
The distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) binding sites in the brain of several vertebrate species was examined by in vitro autoradiography on slide-mounted sections. This study included fish, frog, snake, pigeon, rat, mouse, guinea pig, cat ...
Arachidonic acid (AA) has recently been shown to influence various cellular functions in the central nervous system. Here we report that AA increases, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, 2-deoxy-D-[1-3H]glucose ([3H]2DG) uptake in primary cultur ...
Neurotransmitter-specific anatomical techniques have provided a tool to define the morphological constraints within which a given neurotransmitter will exert its cellular actions. Biochemical and electrophysiological approaches have revealed the nature of ...
We review here the development of Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) type models of cerebral cortex and thalamic neurons for network simulations. The intrinsic electrophysiological properties of cortical neurons were analyzed from several preparations, and we selected th ...
K+, at concentrations reached in the extracellular space during neuronal activity (5-10 mM), promotes a time- and concentration-dependent hydrolysis of [3H]glycogen newly synthesized by mouse cerebral cortical slices. In the present study, the glycogenolyt ...
Huntington's disease (HD) pathology is well understood at a histological level but a comprehensive molecular analysis of the effect of the disease in the human brain has not previously been available. To elucidate the molecular phenotype of HD on a genome- ...
A growing number of biologically active peptides is being identified within the central nervous system (CNS). According to currently accepted criteria, several of these peptides, including VIP, can be viewed as neurotransmitters. Recent immunohistochemical ...
The distribution of vasoactive intestinal peptide binding sites in the rat brain was examined by in vitro autoradiography on slide-mounted sections. A fully characterized monoiodinated form of vasoactive intestinal peptide (M-[125I]VIP) previously shown to ...
