Histamine may act through cyclic AMP on hippocampal neurones. 1985

H L Haas

Bath applied histamine and 8-bromo-cyclic AMP and intracellularly injected cyclic AMP block-long-lasting after-hyperpolarizations and the accommodation of firing in CA1 pyramidal cells recorded in rat hippocampal slices. This action is due to reduction of a calcium-activated potassium conductance (gK(Ca] and leads to potentiation of excitatory signals including epileptiform discharges. The effects are further potentiated and prolonged by a phosphodiesterase inhibitor (Ro 20-1724).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009474	Neurons	The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM.	Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
D006624	Hippocampus	A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D006632	Histamine	An amine derived by enzymatic decarboxylation of HISTIDINE. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, a vasodilator, and also a centrally acting neurotransmitter.	Ceplene,Histamine Dihydrochloride,Histamine Hydrochloride,Peremin
D000242	Cyclic AMP	An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013779	Tetrodotoxin	An aminoperhydroquinazoline poison found mainly in the liver and ovaries of fishes in the order TETRAODONTIFORMES, which are eaten. The toxin causes paresthesia and paralysis through interference with neuromuscular conduction.	Fugu Toxin,Tarichatoxin,Tetradotoxin,Toxin, Fugu
D015124	8-Bromo Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate	A long-acting derivative of cyclic AMP. It is an activator of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, but resistant to degradation by cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase.	8-Bromo-cAMP,8-Br Cyclic AMP,8-Bromo Cyclic AMP,8-Bromo Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate, Monosodium Salt,8-Bromo Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate, Sodium Salt,8-Bromoadenosine 3',5'-Cyclic Monophosphate,Br Cycl AMP,8 Br Cyclic AMP,8 Bromo Cyclic AMP,8 Bromo Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate,8 Bromo Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate, Monosodium Salt,8 Bromo Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate, Sodium Salt,8 Bromo cAMP,8 Bromoadenosine 3',5' Cyclic Monophosphate,AMP, Br Cycl,Cyclic AMP, 8-Br,Cyclic AMP, 8-Bromo
