1. We have used a combination of microfluorimetry and patch-clamp techniques to investigate cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) buffering in response to physiological Ca2+ loads in neurones cultured from the dorsal root ganglia of the rat.2. In cells loaded with Indo-1 AM and using high resistance microelectrodes to initiate and record action potentials, single action potentials were associated with a measurable rise in [Ca2+]i. Short trains of action potentials evoked [Ca2+]i transients with monoexponential recovery rates with time constants of around 5 s.3. Similar Ca2+ buffering properties were seen in cells perfused with patch-clamp pipettes in the whole-cell recording mode suggesting that the slow (seconds) Ca2+ buffering properties were not seriously perturbed by the recording technique.4. In cells held under voltage clamp, reversal of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger driving force had a small but significant effect on the rate of Ca2+ removal.5. Increasing extracellular pH or adding vanadate (200-mu-m) to the internal solution dramatically slowed the rate of recovery. Addition of calmidazolium to the pipette solution also produced a significant but much less dramatic slowing of Ca2+ efflux.6. The results demonstrate that the activity of a plasmalemmal Ca2+-ATPase is important for the removal of somatic Ca2+ loads of a similar amplitude to those generated by the firing of a few action potentials.
