TL;DR: The results suggest that emodin inhibits the EPSP by decreasing the release of glutamate from Schaffer collateral/commissural terminals via the activation of adenosine A1 receptors in rat hippocampal CA1 area and that the neuroprotective effects of rhubarb extracts may result from decreased glutamate excitotoxicity.

TL;DR: The present results suggest that the neuronal input through TRPM8-positive bladder afferent neurons are augmented after BOO, however, the neurochemical phenotype of the up-regulated TR PM8- positive bladder afferential neurons is not changed after Boo.

TL;DR: It is suggested that adenosine mediates the high-temperature-induced depression of the excitatory synaptic transmission but not that of action potential propagation in rat CA1 neurons.

TL;DR: Localisation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFRα) (+) cells expressing small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (SK3) channels in the urinary bladder was investigated, while putative roles of SK3 (+) PDGFR α or vimentin cells in suppressing detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) spontaneous activity were explored.

TL;DR: The results indicate that stimulation of the Schaffer collaterals in the hippocampal CA2 region produces the propagation of the optical signal to the hippocampus, and that the Optical signal involves the action potential and excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials.
