Astrocytes appear to be ideally localized to couple neuronal activity to energy metabolism. First, specialized processes, the astrocytic end-feet surround blood vessels, the source of glucose for the brain. Second, other processes ensheath synapses and exp ...
Excitatory synaptic transmission is associated with changes in both extracellular and intracellular pH. Using mouse cortical neurons in primary cultures, we studied the sensitivity of glutamate-evoked release of 3H-arachidonic acid (3H-AA) to changes in ex ...
The entorhinal cortex is a gateway to the hippocampus; it receives inputs from several cortical associative areas as well as subcortical areas. Since there is evidence showing that noradrenaline reduces the epileptic activity generated in the entorhinal co ...
Glutamate, released at a majority of excitatory synapses in the central nervous system, depolarizes neurons by acting at specific receptors. Its action is terminated by removal from the synaptic cleft mostly via Na(+)-dependent uptake systems located on bo ...
Cerebral metabolism of D[1-13C]glucose was studied with localized 13C NMR spectroscopy during intravenous infusion of enriched [1-13C]glucose in four healthy subjects. The use of three-dimensional localization resulted in the complete elimination of triacy ...
The effects of noradrenaline (NA) on synaptic responses in layer II of the entorhinal cortex (EC) were studied in normal and spontaneously epileptic mutant mice tottering using intracellular recording in a slice preparation. Neither the membrane properties ...
In recent years a vast array of experimental evidence has indicated the presence of functional receptors for neurotransmitters on nonneuronal cells, in particular astrocytes. The two neurotransmitters vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and noradrenaline ( ...
EXPERIMENTAL evidence of the preferential uptake of aluminium by GABAergic neurones and glial cells was provided by synchrotron spectromicroscopy studies. We observed rat cerebellar cultures enriched for GABAergic neurones or glial cells exposed to alumini ...
Pancreatic beta-cells and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-secreting neurons both express the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) which is a major target of autoantibodies associated with beta-cell destruction and impairment of GABA-ergic neurotransmitt ...
We have investigated the modulatory action of excitatory amino acids (EAA) on vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-stimulated cAMP formation in mouse cerebral cortical slices. Glutamate and aspartate potentiate in a concentration-dependent manner the ef ...
