Intracellular divalent cations and neuronal excitability.

Abstract:

:Itracellular injections of Mg into cat spinal motoneurones have a depolarizing action, associated with a fall in input conductance, and depression of the postspike hyperpolarizing after-potential (a.h.p.) as well as its underlying conductance increase. There is also an increase in excitability, sometimes leading to outright discharge, and a change in the current-firing relation: the normal primary range is largely abolished and the firing appears to have the characteristics of the normal secondary range. Intracellular effects of Mg are thus mainly opposite to those of Ca, possibly owing to competition at sites where Ca activates K channels. Intracellular injections of Mn also tend to depress the a.h.p. but have relatively little effect on resting potential and conductance, or action potentials. Co also depresses the a.h.p. but has a more pronounced depolarizing action, and produces particularly strong depression of action potentials. By contrast intracellular Sr tends to raise the membrane conductance and has a mild hyperpolarizing effect. During the injection of Sr, a.h.p's are depressed but this is followed by a rebound of increased a.h.p. amplitude and conductance. Unlike the other divalent cations tested, Sr strongly depressed excitatory postsynaptic potentials. In most respects Sr appears to behave like Ca.
