- Development of inhibitory synaptic transmission to motoneuronsJ H Singer
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA, USA
Brain Res Bull 53:553-60. 2000..Here, we review three fundamental properties of inhibitory neurotransmission that are altered postnatally and may be important in shaping the unique behaviors of these synapses early in development...
- Potentiation of L-type calcium channels reveals nonsynaptic mechanisms that correlate spontaneous activity in the developing mammalian retinaJ H Singer
Synapse Formation and Function Unit, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
J Neurosci 21:8514-22. 2001..Our study indicates that although the precise spatiotemporal properties of retinal waves are shaped by local synaptic inputs, activity may be propagated through the developing mammalian retina by nonsynaptic pathways...
- Mice lacking specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits exhibit dramatically altered spontaneous activity patterns and reveal a limited role for retinal waves in forming ON and OFF circuits in the inner retinaA Bansal
Synapse Formation and Function Unit, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health, Howard Hughes Medical Institute National Institutes of Health Research Scholars Program, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
J Neurosci 20:7672-81. 2000..These results indicate that retinal waves mediated by nAChRs are involved in, but not required for, the development of neural circuits that define the ON and OFF sublamina of the inner plexiform layer...
- Presynaptic inhibition by serotonin: a possible mechanism for switching motor output of the hypoglossal nucleusJ H Singer
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle 98195-7290, USA
Sleep 19:S146-9. 1996..We discuss this result in relation to the role of 5-HT in state-dependent modulation of respiration-related activity in HMs...
