Four mammalian Kv3 genes have been identified, each of which generates, by alternative
splicing, multiple protein products differing in their C‐terminal sequence. Products of the …

The ontogenetic approach to physiological events is a useful strategy for understanding the
functional organization/architecture of the vertebrate brainstem. However, conventional …

Cortical spreading depression (CSD) occurrence has been suggested to be associated with
seizures, migraine aura, head injury and brain ischemia-infarction. Only few studies …

Voltage-and current-clamp recordings were made from acute slices of mouse cerebral
cortex from embryonic day 14 to postnatal day 17. We targeted cells in the migratory …

We have quantified the optical signals of synaptically induced neural activities in an in vitro
brain slice preparation in terms of electrophysiological signals. The qualification was done …

Continuous intracerebroventricular infusion of β-amyloid peptide 1–40 (Aβ (1–40)) in animal
models induces learning and memory impairment associated with dysfunction of the …

A number of sensory modalities most likely converge in the rat perirhinal cortex. The
perirhinal cortex also interconnects with the amygdala, which plays an important role in …

Digital imaging microfluorimetry was used to visualize changes in mitochondrial potential
and intracellular Ca2+ concentration,[Ca2+] i, in thick slices of rat hippocampus. Electrical …

Non-clinical toxicology is a major cause of drug candidate attrition during development. In
particular, drug-induced seizures are the most common finding in central nervous system …

Although it has long been believed that glial cells play a major role in transmitter uptake at
synapses in the CNS, the relative contribution of glial and neuronal cells to reuptake of …
