## Abstract A channel open on the membrane can be formed by palytoxin (PTX). Ten nanomolar PTX caused an irreversible increase in the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca^2+^]~c~), which was abolished in the absence of external calcium. The increase was eliminated by saxitoxin (STX) and nifedipine
Using subtype-specific Ca-channel blockers, we have characterised the voltage-sensitive Ca 21 currents as well as neurotransmitter release from cultured mouse cerebellar granule cells. The whole cell version of the patch clamp technique was adapted to monitor the isolated Ca-channel currents. The cu
The properties of [3H]glycine uptake and release were studied with cerebellar granule cells, 7-9 days in vitro, (DIV) and astrocytes, 14-15 DIV, in primary cultures. The uptake of glycine in both cell types consisted of a saturable high-affinity transport and nonsaturable diffusion. The transport co
Using an in vitro slice preparation, we studied the effects, on parallel fiber (PF)-mediated EPSPs, of coactivation of metabotropic-glutamate receptors and of voltage-gated calcium (Ca) channels of Purkinje cells (PCs) by bath application of 50 microM trans-1-amino-cyclopentyl-1,3-dicarboxylate (tra
