| Abstract | 1. The induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) was investigated in the rat dentate gyrus in the presence of ryanodine, an agent which is known to selectively bind to the ryanodine receptor (RyR) Ca2+ channels which regulate Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores. 2. In control media, high frequency stimulation (HFS) induced LTP, and prolonged low frequency stimulation (LFS) induced long-term depression (LTD), of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) and patch clamped excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs). 3. In the presence of ryanodine, at a threshold concentration of about 1 microM, HFS-induced LTP was inhibited, whereas LFS (5 Hz, 900 pulses) now induced LTP. 4. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist D-2-amino-phosphonopentanoate (D-AP5), at both 50 and 200 microM, did not prevent the induction of LTP by 5 Hz LFS in the presence of ryanodine. This demonstrates the NMDAR independence of LTP induction in the presence of ryanodine. Furthermore, D AP5 reversed the block of HFS-induced LTP by ryanodine. 5. The induction of LTP by 5 Hz LFS in the presence of ryanodine was blocked by lowering extracellular Ca2+, or by rapidly buffering intracellular Ca2+ to very low levels with BAPTA. 6. The induction of LTP by 5 Hz LFS was inhibited by the L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine, and also by Ni2+ a commonly used T type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel blocker. 7. The 5 Hz LFS-induced LTP in the presence of ryanodine was inhibited by the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) antagonist (+)-alpha-methyl 4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG). 8. The 5 Hz LFS-induced LTP in the presence of ryanodine was blocked by Ruthenium Red, an agent known to block RyR channel opening, and also by thapsigargin, an agent known to block-ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake into endoplasmic reticulum. 9. The results of the present studies emphasize the importance of intracellular Ca2+ stores in the induction of LTP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
