## Abstract Although prolonged stress and corticosteroid exposure induce morphological changes in the hippocampal CA3 area, the adult CA1 area is quite resistant to such changes. Here we addressed the question whether elevated corticosteroid hormone levels change dendritic complexity in young, deve

Previously it was found that the amplitude of Ca currents in CA1 hippocampal neurons increases after adrenalectomy (ADX) of young adult rats. Preliminary data suggested that this effect of ADX is age-dependent. In the present study we therefore investigated the effect of ADX on Ca currents in three
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protects neurons against ischemic injury. An overload of intracellular calcium ions (Ca^2+^) caused by the excessive release of glutamate is widely considered to be one of the molecular mechanisms of ischemic neuronal death. In the present study
Dendritic morphology and passive cable properties determine many aspects of synaptic integration in complex neurons, together with voltage-dependent membrane conductances. We investigated dendritic properties of CA1 pyramidal neurons intracellularly labeled during in vivo and in vitro physiologic re
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
A complete and selective destruction of the basal forebrain cholinergic neurons projecting to the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus was induced in the rat by the toxin 192 IgG-saporin. Using electrophysiologic techniques, we have investigated the consequences of this cholinergic denervation on inh
