The electrophysiological characteristics of intracellularly recorded locus coeruleus (LC) neurons in brain stem slices from DSP-4 treated animals have been compared to those from untreated controls. LC neurons from DSP-4 treated animals had action potentials and Ca2+ spikes (elicited in the presence of TTX) of significantly reduced duration compared to controls. These observations suggest that chemical axotomy with DSP-4 reduces Ca2+ conductance in neurons of the locus coeruleus.
已将经DSP-4处理的动物脑干切片中细胞内记录的蓝斑(LC)神经元的电生理特性与未处理的对照进行了比较。与对照相比,经DSP-4处理的动物的LC神经元的动作电位和Ca2+尖峰(在TTX存在下引发)持续时间显著缩短。这些观察结果表明,用DSP-4进行化学性轴突切断会降低蓝斑神经元中的Ca2+电导。
