Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The spontaneous membrane potential oscillation of cortical pyramidal neuron is characterized by up state, a short depolarization period, and down state that included following after hyperpolarization (AHP) and resting membrane potential. Up state of agranular insular (AI) cortical pyramidal neurons was less exhibited compared with those of somatosensory cortical neurons. GABAA agonist increased and prolonged AHP. Electrical tongue stimulation induced EPSPs in AI neurons located 1 mm rostral from middle central artery with high incidence. In more rostral region, same stimulation induced IPSPs with low incidence.
