Intracellular Physiology of the Rat Suprachiasmatic Nucleus: Electricalproperties, Neurotransmission Effects of Neuromodulators

摘要

Knowledge of the neuronal membrane properties and synaptic physiology of thesuprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is critical for an understanding of the cellular basis of circadian rhythms in mammals. The hypothalamic slice preparation from rodents and a combination of electrophysiological techniques (i.e., extracellular
