Journal ArticleDOI

Functional and molecular differences between voltage-gated K^+ channels of fast-spiking interneurons and pyramidal neurons of rat hippocampus

TL;DR: The results indicate that the differential expression of Kv3 and Kv4 subunits shapes the action potential phenotypes of principal neurons and interneurons in the cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormalities in Hippocampal Functioning with Persistent Pain

TL;DR: The results indicate that hippocampus-mediated behavior, synaptic plasticity, and neurogenesis are abnormal in neuropathic rodents, and these abnormalities may underlie learning and emotional deficits commonly observed in chronic pain patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological and functional reorganization of rat medial prefrontal cortex in neuropathic pain.

TL;DR: The results not only provide evidence that neuropathic pain leads to rearrangement of the mPFC, which may help defining the cellular basis for cognitive impairments associated with chronic pain, but also show pain-associated morphological changes in the cortex at single neuron level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distal initiation and active propagation of action potentials in interneuron dendrites.

TL;DR: Simultaneous recordings from dendrites and somata suggested that action potential initiation occurs preferentially in the axon with long threshold stimuli, but can be shifted to somatodendritic sites when brief stimuli are applied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scapuloperoneal spinal muscular atrophy and CMT2C are allelic disorders caused by alterations in TRPV4.

TL;DR: It is reported that SPSMA and CMT2C are allelic disorders caused by mutations in the gene encoding the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 4 (TRPV4), implying a pathogenic mechanism and possible options for therapy for these disorders.
