The patch-clamp technique was used to investigate the activity of single ion channels in neuropile glial (NG) cells in the central nervous system (CNS) of the medicinal leech, Hirudo rnediciaulis. We found evidence for two distinct C1-channels that could be distinguished by their basic electrical pr

We investigated the effects of ATP (adenosine 5Π-triphosphate) and derivatives on leech neuropile glial cells, focusing on exposed glial cells. ATP dosedependently depolarized or hyperpolarized neuropile glial cells in situ as well as exposed neuropile glial cells. These potential shifts varied amon
Double-barrelled pH-sensitive microelectrodes were used to measure the intracellular pH (pH,) of neuropil glial cells and the pH of extracellular spaces (pH,) within isolated, intact ganglia of the leech Hirudo medicinalis. By application of a weak acid (propionate, 40 mM) or a weak base (ammonium,
## Abstract Injury to the central nervous system (CNS) can result in severe functional impairment. The brain and spinal cord, which constitute the CNS, have been viewed for decades as having a very limited capacity for regeneration. However, over the last several years, the body of evidence support
