β¦ Synopsis
Xenopus spinal neurons serve as a sient elevations of intracellular calcium encode differnearly ideal population of excitable cells for study of entiation in their frequency. Recent studies have developmental regulation of electrical excitability. On the one hand, the firing properties of these neurons shown that different neuronal subpopulations enlist can be directly examined at early stages of differentiadistinct mechanisms for regulation of excitability and tion and membrane excitability changes as neurons recruit specific programs of differentiation by particumature. Underlying changes in voltage-dependent ion lar patterns of activity.

The embryonic development of the catecholaminergic system of the pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, was investigated by using chromatographic and histochemical methods. High performance liquid chromatography suggested that dopamine was the only catecholamine present in significant concentrations through
In vitro models of traumatic injury are useful adjuncts to animal models for studying mechanisms of post-traumatic cell death. Here we describe a new in vitro model in which reproducible levels of injury are delivered by a punch device that produces 28 parallel cuts in individual wells of 96-well mi
In this study, we examined the possibility that MPTP and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) act on distinct cell death pathways in a murine dopaminergic neuronal cell line, MN9D. First, we found that cells treated with 6-OHDA accompanied ultrastructural changes typical of apoptosis, whereas MPP Ψ treatment
