Ouabain had no effect on the MEPC parameters when AChE was active. After AChE inhibition ouabain initially increased the decay time constant of MEPC (tau), i.e. caused postsynaptic potentiation (PSP). This effect of ouabain grew with time between inhibition of AChE and application of ouabain. The PSP stage was followed by shortening of MEPCs decay, due to the development of desensitization (DS), and that process was more pronounced than in control. Applied before AChE inhibition, ouabain had no effect on tau. Thus neither PSP nor DS developed under those conditions. Exogenous ACh (20 nmol/l) applied simultaneously with inhibitor of AChE partially prevented the shortening of MEPCs decay, but decreased the amplitude of MEPC. Applied after MEPCs shortening, exogenous ACh (50 nmol/l) tended to return the initial value of tau. It is concluded that nonquantal ACh produces PSP and DS on the postsynaptic membrane after inhibition of ACh and that the DS persists after cessation of nonquantal secretion for a long time.</p>","PeriodicalId":19121,"journal":{"name":"Neirofiziologiia = Neurophysiology","volume":"24 4","pages":"396-404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12607011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scratching and locomotor generators were characterized by the ability to effectively rearrange the time structure of their activity in response to certain changes in phase and amplitude characteristics of signals arriving both by the mossy and climbing inputs of the cerebellum. The flexor half-centre of the locomotor generator and aiming half-centre of the scratching generator increased both the period and intensity of their activity under influence of signals arriving to the cerebellum from the inferior olive and nucleus reticularis lateralis at the first half of the working phase of these half-centres. Stimulation of the inferior olive and nucleus reticularis lateralis during the second half of the flexor and aiming phases evoked somewhat different changes in correlation of activity for half-centres of the locomotor and scratching generators. A slight shortening of the activity period of the aiming half-centre during scratching and a decrease of the activity period of the extensor half-centre during locomotion were observed. Stimulation of the structures mentioned above during the working phase of half-centres controlling limb extensor movements evoked shortening of the extensor half-centres activity period during locomotion and exerted no effect on the scratching jerk half-centre activity period during scratching. The scratching generator, unlike the locomotor generator is characterized by a significant degree of resemblance of the rearrangement of generator efferent activity parameters evoked by electric stimulation of the cerebellum nuclei and its afferent inputs.
