Properties of the spike afterhyperpolarization in pyramidal tract neurons. 1983

F Baldissera, and P Campadelli, and E Fava, and L Piccinelli

Features of the spike afterhyperpolarization (AHP) recorded intracellularly have been analyzed in fast pyramidal tract neurons of cats. Cell input conductance increases during the AHP, possibly because of a change in potassium conductance, as suggested by an AHP equilibrium potential 10--15 mV negative to the resting membrane potential. When more spikes are evoked in succession, AHPs following the first one are strongly reduced in amplitude. The effect is virtually maximal (30--50% of the control) after a single spike and fades out by 200-400 ms after the last spike. At short interspike intervals the initial time course of the depression is hidden by summation occurring between consecutive AHPs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D011712 Pyramidal Tracts Fibers that arise from cells within the cerebral cortex, pass through the medullary pyramid, and descend in the spinal cord. Many authorities say the pyramidal tracts include both the corticospinal and corticobulbar tracts.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.

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.
