## Abstract Ionic currents were recorded in cultured oligodendrocytes from the brain of trout using the whole‐cell configuration of the patch‐clamp technique. Outward currents were evoked at membrane potentials more positive than −40 mV, which could be separated into two components according to the

These studies have enabled the first characterization of the properties of ion channels in adult oligodendrocytes. Cell-attached recordings from cultured adult bovine cells showed channel activity with 140 mM KC1 in the patch pipette; the amplitude of the currents was increased with increasing membr
## Abstract The effects of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor‐α (rhTNF‐α) on inward rectifier potassium [K(IR)] currents and on cell morphology have been studied in cultured human oligodendrocytes. Cell‐attached patches were used to isolate and record unitary currents through an inward rectifi
## Abstract Voltage‐gated ionic currents were recorded from cultured trout astrocytes with the whole‐cell variation of the patch‐clamp technique. In a subpopulation of astrocytes depolarizations above −40 m V activated a fast transient inward current that was identified as a sodium current by ion s
The effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) on voltage-gated membrane currents of cultured neurons derived from embryonic rat cerebral cortex was studied using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. Treatment of neurons with TNF resulted in an increase in outward potassium curre
The classical studies by Del Rio Hortega (Mem. Real. Soc. Espan. Hist. Nat. 14:40-122, 1928) suggest that the oligodendrocyte population includes four morphological subtypes. Recent data from the cat and the rat show that the anatomy of oligodendrocytes related to early myelinating prospective large
