DESCRIPTION: (Investigator's Abstract) This study will test the hypothesis that the action of CRF on proposed autoreceptors in the central nucleus of the amygdala is different than on postsynaptic CRF receptors receiving CRF projections. The following specific aims will be addressed. 1) analyze CRF effects on electrophysiological properties of neurons in the two nuclei; 2) determine the mechanisms of action on specific membrane currents underlying the action of CRF; 3) correlate cell types with the differential response to CRF in central and basolateral amygdala using intracellular staining with Lucifer Yellow; 4) examine possible second messenger systems involved in the actions of CRF in the different nuclei; and 5) determine possible presynaptic modulatory actions of CRF on synaptic transmission. Intracellular recordings from a submerged brain slice preparation will be used in current and single electrode voltage clamp modes to address these aims.

描述：（研究者的摘要）这项研究将检验假设 CRF对在中央核中提出的自动受体的作用 杏仁核与接收CRF的突触后CRF受体不同 预测。 将解决以下特定目标。 1）分析 CRF对两者中神经元电生理特性的影响 核； 2）确定对特定膜电流的作用机理 CRF的作用的基础； 3）将细胞类型与差分相关联 使用细胞内的中央和基底外侧杏仁核对CRF的响应 用路西法黄色染色； 4）检查可能的第二使者系统 参与CRF在不同核中的作用； 5）确定 CRF可能对突触传播的突触前调节作用。 浸没脑切片制剂的细胞内记录将是 用于电流和单电极电压夹模式来解决这些 目标。
