Pharmacological Manipulation of VNC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Drugs were bath applied via the saline perfusate. TTX (purchased from Abcam) was prepared as a concentrated stock solution in sodium citrate, picrotoxin was prepared as a concentrated stock solution in aqueous NaCl (140 mM), and methyllycaconitine citrate (MLA, purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) and atropine sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich) were prepared as stock solutions in water. Each drug was further diluted in saline for experiments for a final concentration of 1 µM (TTX and MLA), 20 µM (atropine), or 100 µM (picrotoxin). Drugs were perfused over the exposed VNC for as long as 40 min (MLA and atropine in the case of 13Bα and 10A cell recordings) but more often for 20 min.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
