Journal ArticleDOI

Patch-clamp recordings of membrane currents evoked during natural synaptic activity in sympathetic neurons

TL;DR: The results suggest that colonic afferent nerve fibres activate in the mouse superior mesenteric ganglion neurons a few populations of the postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors with different channel kinetics, which are characterized by a lack of voltage sensitivity within -70 to -110 mV membrane potential range, except those with comparatively slow channel kin mechanics which are possibly blocked by membrane hyperpolarization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonergic modulation of murine fundic tone.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the role of serotonin (5-HT) and 5-HT receptors in modulating fundic smooth muscle tone through a balance of excitatory and inhibitory input.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coupling and innervation patterns of interstitial cells of Cajal in the deep muscular plexus of the guinea-pig

TL;DR: Direct evidence for functional coupling within the ICC‐DMP network, and between this network and cells of the outer circular muscle layer is provided and it is shown that coupling can be affected by pH.
