Ligand-gated channels mediate synaptic transmission through conformational transitions triggered by the binding of neurotransmitters. These transitions are well-defined in terms of ion conductance, but their structural basis is poorly understood. To probe these changes in structure, GABA(A)
The possible role of cholinergic mechanisms in the sub-commissural part of the globus pallidus (scGP) in the induction of oro-facial dyskinesia (OFD) was studied in cats. Local injections of the cholinergic agonist carbachol into the scGP elicited tongue protrusions in a dose dependent way (100-1000
The experiments were carried out on rabbits with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) induced by hypothalamic electric stimulation. The effects of GABA or diazepam (Dz) and picrotoxin on VA were observed. After GABA 0.25, 0.5, 1 mg/rabbit were injected into cerebral ventricle (icv) or cisterna magna (icm),
We examined the effects of caloric vestibular stimulation on the neuronal activity of the locus coeruleus (LC) in urethane-anesthetized rats. The middle ear cavity was irrigated with hot (44 degrees C) or cold (30 degrees C) water through a polyethylene tube. Most neurons (hot water: 76%, 55/72;
Neurocysticercosis, caused by Taenia solium, is a common cause of neurologic disease in developing countries and among immigrants to the United States. Seizures are the most common clinical manifestation of neurocysticercosis. Imaging studies of patients with seizures from neurocysticercosis
