## Abstract For many years, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes were considered the inert partners of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), but several recent studies have dramatically challenged this view. Glial cells express a large number of different voltage‐ and ligand‐gated ion channels (V

## Abstract We investigated the time course of modulation of synaptic transmission by group II and group III metabotropic glutamate receptors in region CA1 of the hippocampus. In the presence of 50 μM picrotoxin, pressure pulse application of 1 mM glutamate resulted in a fast onset of suppression o
## Abstract Low magnesium medium and the N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist D‐2‐amino‐5‐phosphonopentanoate (D‐AP5) were used to analyze the effect of several manipulations on the component of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) mediateed by activation of NDMA receptors in area
Synaptic transmission between photoreceptors and horizontal cells can be modulated in at least two domains: amplitude and time. In teleost fish, synaptic transmission is modulated mainly in the amplitude domain. Cone-driven horizontal cells in this species require background illumination to maintain
The effects of enantiomers of the neurosteroid analogues, 3␣-hydroxy-5␣pregnan-20-one (DHP) and 3␣-hydroxy-5␣-androstane-17-carbonitrile (ACN), and the benz[e]indene, BI-1, on synaptic currents were examined in microcultures of rat hippocampal neurons. Over the range of 0.1-10 µM, the (ϩ)-enantiome
