Nicotinic α7 acetylcholine receptor-mediated currents are not modulated by the tryptophan metabolite kynurenic acid in adult hippocampal interneurons
Peter Dobelis, Andrew L. Varnell, Kevin J. Staley +1
The tryptophan metabolite, kynurenic acid (KYNA), is classically known to be an antagonist of ionotropic glutamate receptors. Within the last decade several reports have been publi…
mGluR5 Knockout mice exhibit normal conditioned place-preference to cocaine
Melissa A. Fowler, Andrew L. Varnell, Donald C. Cooper
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) null mutant (-/-) mice have been reported to totally lack the rein- forcing or locomotor stimulating effects of cocaine. We tested mGluR5…
Control over stress induces plasticity of individual prefrontal cortical neurons: A conductance-based neural simulation
Juan A. Varela, Jungang Wang, Andrew L. Varnell +1
Behavioral control over stressful stimuli induces resilience to future conditions when control is lacking. The medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC) is a critically important brain region…
TRPC4 ion channel protein is selectively expressed in a subpopulation of dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area
Kurt R. Illig, Kristin C. Rasmus, Andrew L. Varnell +3
The nonselective cation channel TRPC4 has been shown to be present in high abundance in the corticolimbic regions of the brain and play a pivotal role in modulating cellular excita…
