Retrograde transport of a traditional Chinese medicine, alpha-trichosanthin, and its selective neural toxicity.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the peripheral neuronal toxicity of a traditional Chinese medicine, alpha-trichosanthin (TCS). METHODS: TCS and rhodamine-conjugated TCS were separately injected into the rat sciatic nerve. Saline and rhodamine were used ... Read more...

Combined intrinsic and extrinsic neuronal mechanisms facilitate bridging axonal regeneration one year after spinal cord injury.

27 Oct 2009 Despite advances in promoting axonal regeneration after acute spinal cord injury (SCI), elicitation of bridging axon regeneration after chronic SCI remains a formidable challenge. We report that combinatorial therapies administered 6 weeks, and as ... Read more...

Endocannabinoid-dependent homeostatic regulation of inhibitory synapses by miniature excitatory synaptic activities.

19 Oct 2009 Homeostatic regulation of synaptic strength in response to persistent changes of neuronal activity plays an important role in maintaining the overall level of circuit activity within a normal range. Absence of miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs) for a few ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Sensory Receptor Cells'

Definition: Specialized afferent neurons capable of transducing sensory stimuli into NERVE IMPULSES to be transmitted to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Sometimes sensory receptors for external stimuli are called exteroceptors; for internal stimuli are called interoceptors and proprioceptors.
