Journal ArticleDOI
Heteromultimeric K+ channels in terminal and juxtaparanodal regions of neurons
TL;DR: The co-localization of two Shaker-like voltage-gated K+-channel proteins is described, indicating that the two polypeptides occur in subcellular regions where rapid membrane repolarization may be important and that they form heteromultimeric channels in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local circuit interactions between oriens/alveus interneurons and CA1 pyramidal cells in hippocampal slices: electrophysiology and morphology.
TL;DR: Electrophysiological and anatomical results suggest that O/A interneurons make synaptic contact with pyramidal cells and may mediate feedforward and feedback inhibition onto CA 1 pyramid cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiologic and Morphologic Characteristics of Granule Cell Circuitry in Human Epileptic Hippocampus
TL;DR: The data suggest that granule cell bursting activity is at least in part a function of compromised synaptic inhibition, since levels of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) blockade that are generally subthreshold for burst induction were epileptogenic in some tissue samples from human epileptic hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axon arbors and synaptic connections of hippocampal mossy cells in the rat in vivo
TL;DR: The axon collateralization patterns and synaptic connections of intracellularly labeled and electrophysiologically identified mossy cells were studied in rat hippocampus and indicated that more than 90% of mossy cell synaptic contacts in the ipsilateral hippocampus are onto spines of proximal dendrites of presumed granule cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synaptic connections of dentate granule cells and hilar neurons: results of paired intracellular recordings and intracellular horseradish peroxidase injections.
TL;DR: These studies provide the first step towards determining the functional interactions of the various cell types in the fascia dentata, with granule cells having strong excitatory effects on mossy cells and interneurons.
