✦ Synopsis

Macroscopic potassium currents were studied in cell-attached and inside-out patches from rat cerebellar granule cells. They were related with transient IA type potassium channels. Currents activated rapidly at potentials higher than -40 mV and did not inactivate completely. The magnitude of the current diminished when the membrane patches were excised. No differences in the activation and inactivation properties were found between patches in the integral cells and cell free membrane patches. A biophysical description of the currents is presented.

The effect of potassium depolarization and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) on the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AAT; EC 2.6.1.1), an enzyme suggested to be involved in neurotransmitter glutamate synthesis, was studied in cultured cerebellar granule neurons. Both KCI and NMDA increased AAT acti
