Ageing is characterised by a progressive increase in systemic inflammation and especially neuroinflammation. Neuroinflammation associated with altered brain states that affect behaviour, such as an increased level of anxiety concomitant decline cognitive abilities. Although multiple factors play role the development neuroinflammation, microglia have emerged crucial target. Microglia are only macrophage population CNS parenchyma plays maintaining homeostasis immune response, which depends on...
ABSTRACT Using giant characeaen algae Nitellopsis obtusa in laboratory exercises is proposed to familiarize students with basic concepts of electrophysiology and provide some simple hands-on practice. The described concept experiments present extracellular registration action potentials (APs) investigation cytoplasmic streaming properties. Students are expected register the propagation velocity APs (found be 3.4 ± 1.5 cm/s N. ), as well (66.7 9 μm/s). Proposed also concern recovery dynamics...
The effect of acute ethanol administration on the flash visual-evoked potential (VEP) was investigated in numerous studies. However, it is still unclear which brain structures are responsible for differences observed stimulus onset (ON) and offset (OFF) responses how these modulated by ethanol. aim our study to investigate pattern ON OFF visual system, measured as amplitude latency each VEP component following VEPs were recorded at a 500 ms anesthetized male Wistar rats. alcohol one hour...
We used an optical lickometer system to study drinking microstructure and effect of lamotrigine in voluntary alcohol-drinking rats. showed that, similar humans, animals differ by their where some consume alcohol exclusively a bout-like patterns. The suggests that anticonvulsants, such as lamotrigine, may be one treatment strategy specifically affecting this type drinking.
Alcohol consumption is one of the biggest social and medical problems in world. alters function almost all systems organism, first – central nervous system. It interferes with transduction processes, brain plasticity, sensory information processing. Visual …
Adaptation of action potential frequency is a common feature neurons from various parts the nervous system. thought to contribute information coding, integration, input filtering and saving metabolic resources. Despite inten sive investigation, kinetics adaptation recovery are not fully described. The locust forewing stretch receptor (fSR) was used investigate in response wing elevation. We have found that can be well described by sum two exponential decays with time constants 5.04 ± 0.6 s...
The reason for the limited treatment success of substance-use-related problems may be a causal heterogeneity this disorder that, at least partly, is manifested as differences in substance-use motives between individuals. aim present study was to assess if rats with pharmacologically induced function serotonergic system would respond differently melatonin compared control respect voluntary alcohol consumption. To achieve goal, we treated neonatally selective serotonin transporter (SERT)...
