We have studied the modulatory effects of cholinergic agonists on excitatory postsynaptic
currents (EPSCs) in nucleus accumbens (nAcb) neurons during postnatal development …

We have recorded excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) evoked by local electrical
stimulation in 243 nucleus accumbens (nAcb) neurons in vitro during postnatal development …

We have studied the postnatal development of the physiological characteristics of nucleus
accumbens (nAcb) neurons in slices from postnatal day 1 (P1) to P49 rats using the whole …

Precise control of synaptic strength is critical for maintaining accurate network activity and
normal brain functions. Several major brain diseases are related to synaptic alterations in …

Despite the major role of excitatory cortico-cortical connections in mediating neocortical
activities, little is known about these synapses at the cellular level. Here we have …

Nucleus accumbens (nAcb), a major site of action of drugs of abuse and dopamine (DA)
signalling in MSNs (medium spiny neurons), is critically involved in mediating behavioural …

Background NMDA receptors are traditionally viewed as being located postsynaptically, at
both synaptic and extrasynaptic locations. However, both anatomical and physiological …

Using patch clamp recordings from an in vitro spinal cord slice preparation of neonatal rats
(9–15days old), we characterized the GABAergic synaptic transmission in sympathetic …

Pontine acetylcholine (ACh) contributes to the regulation of electroencephalographic and
behavioral arousal in all mammals so far investigated. The mouse is recognized as a …

Using patch clamp recordings on neonatal rat spinal cord slices, we have looked for the
presence of α‐bungarotoxin‐sensitive nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) on sympathetic …
