Journal ArticleDOI
Subthreshold membrane resonance in neocortical neurons
TL;DR: It is proposed that the frequency selectivity endowed on neurons by IH may contribute to their participation in synchronized firing, and the voltage dependence of the frequency-selective coupling between oscillatory inputs and spikes may indicate a novel mechanism for controlling the extent of low-frequency synchronized activity in the neocortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models of subthreshold membrane resonance in neocortical neurons
TL;DR: This work developed a technique, the reactive current clamp (RCC), to inject a computer-calculated current corresponding to a membrane ionic current in response to the membrane potential of the neuron, which represents the first time an in vitro modeling technique has been used to antagonize a specific endogenous current, IH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane properties of mesopontine cholinergic neurons studied with the whole-cell patch-clamp technique: implications for behavioral state control
TL;DR: Delineation of the intrinsic membrane properties of identified mesopontine cholinergic neurons, in concert with recent results regarding the responses of these neurons to neurotransmitter agents, has led us to present a unifying and mechanistic hypothesis of brain stem Cholinergic function in the control of behavioral states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-threshold calcium current and resonance in thalamic neurons: a model of frequency preference
TL;DR: The properties of the low-threshold Ca2+ current, IT, are sufficient to explain the Ni(2+)-sensitive 2- to 4-Hz resonance seen in MDT neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isoflurane inhibits calcium currents in neocortical neurons
TL;DR: Voltage-clamp techniques were used to assess the effects of isoflurane anaesthesia in slices of sensorimotor cortex of guinea pigs and neonatal rats and Isoflurane decreased the magnitude of the high voltage-activated current.
