1. The role of adenosine receptors in reducing calcium currents (ICa) and in triggering
presynaptic inhibition was studied using whole‐cell patch‐clamp techniques to record ICa …

1. Intracellular microelectrode recordings were used to study the cellular location, the
receptor pharmacology, and the mechanism of action of adenosine on pyramidal cells and …

Electrophysiological and biochemical techniques were used to characterize adenosine
receptors in rat hippocampus. The site which mediates the inhibitory action of adenosine on …

In rat hippocampal slices, stimulus-evoked field potentials and the concominant decrease of
the extracellular concentration of free Ca ions [Ca 2+] o were measured with combined …

Adenosine and its agonists exert a depressant effect on neuronal activity by interacting with
the adenosine A 1 receptor. There is now also evidence for electrophysiological effects …

In slices of rat hippocampus, adenosine and several adenosine derivatives depressed
evoked neuronal responses to afferent stimulation. The nanomolar potency of adenosine …

1. Intracellular recordings with single‐electrode voltage clamp were employed to study the
mechanism of adenosine‐elicited inhibition of CA1 neurones of the rat in vitro. 2. Adenosine …

Adenosine has profound depressant effects upon the electrophysiological activity of the
brain, but the adenosine receptor subtypes which mediate these responses are uncertain. In …

Adenosine is a potent modulator of neuronal activity throughout the nervous system.
Previous evidence suggests that adenosine presynaptically inhibits synaptic transmission …

Intracellular recordings were made in rat brain slice preparations containing pyramidal cells
of the associative frontal cortex in order to characterize the action of selective adenosine A1 …
