The SG was easily discernible with transmitted illumination as a relatively translucent band across the dorsal horn in the transverse slice preparations (Fig. 1). Blind whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings were made from SG neurons, as previously described [17 (link),19 (link)]. The patch pipettes were filled with a solution containing potassium gluconate solution (in mM): K-gluconate 135, KCl 5, CaCl2 0.5, MgCl2 2, EGTA 5, HEPES 5, and ATPMg 5 (pH 7.2). The tip resistance of the patch pipettes was 6–12 MΩ. Series resistance was assessed according to the response to a 5-mV hyperpolarizing step. This value was monitored during the recording session, and data were rejected if values changed by >15%. Signals were acquired with a patch-clamp amplifier (Axopatch 700A, Molecular Devices, Union City, CA, USA). The data were digitized with an AD/DA converter (Digidata 1321A, Molecular Devices), stored on a personal computer using a data acquisition program (Clampex, version 9.0, Molecular Devices), and analyzed using a software package (Clampfit, version 9.0, Molecular Devices) (Fig. 1). Cell recordings were obtained in voltage-clamp mode at holding potentials of -70 mV to record EPSCs [17 (link),19 (link)].

The SG was easily discernible with transmitted illumination as a relatively translucent band across the dorsal horn in the transverse slice preparations (Fig. 1A). Blind whole-cell voltage clamp recordings were made from SG neurons, as previously described [14 (link),15 (link),19 (link),20 (link)]. The patch pipettes were filled with a solution containing potassium gluconate solution (in mM): K-gluconate 135, KCl 5, CaCl2 0.5, MgCl2 2, EGTA 5, HEPES 5, and ATP-Mg 5 (pH, 7.2). The tip resistance of the patch pipettes was 6–12 MΩ. Series resistance was assessed according to the response to a 5-mV hyperpolarizing step. This value was monitored during the recording session, and data were rejected if values changed by >15%. Signals were acquired with a patch clamp amplifier (Axopatch 700A, Molecular Devices, Union City, CA, USA). The data were digitized with an analog to digital/digital to analog converter (Digidata 1321A, Molecular Devices), stored on a personal computer using a data acquisition program (Clampex version 9.0, Molecular Devices), and analyzed using a software package (Clampfit version 9.0, Molecular Devices). Cell recordings were made in voltage-clamp mode at holding potentials of -70 mV to record EPSCs [14 (link),15 (link),19 (link)].

Electrophysiology of Larval NMJ in Drosophila

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Current clamp recordings using sharp electrodes [using pClamp 10, an Axoclamp 700B amplifier and Digidata 1321A (Molecular Devices, USA)] were made from ventral longitudinal muscle 6 in abdominal segments 2 and 3 of third instar wandering larvae in haemolymph-like (HL-3) solution containing 1.5 mm Ca2+ as described previously (70 (link)). Recording electrodes (10–20 MΩ) were filled with 3 M KCl. All eEJP/mEJPs were recorded from muscles with resting potentials more negative than −60 mV and at 22°C as differences in recording temperature cause changes in glutamate receptor kinetics and amplitudes (71 (link)). All eEJP amplitudes were corrected for non-linear summation (72 (link)). Larval rearing temperatures were 25°C to avoid temperature-dependent fluctuations of NMJ morphology and evoked responses (73 (link)). QC was calculated by dividing the mean eEJP amplitudes by the mean mEJP amplitude of a given cell. mEJPs and eEJPs were low-pass filtered at 1 kHz. Data were collected from averaged multiple eEJPs and 60 s of mEJP recordings per muscle.

Extracellular Field Potential Recordings in Organotypic Neocortical Slices

Organotypic neocortical slices were placed in a conventional submerged chamber and continuously perfused with oxygenated artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) (95% O2–5% CO2) at 32–34°C with a flow rate of 5–8 mL/min. aCSF contained the following compounds (mM): NaCl (120), KCl (3.3), CaCl2 (1.3), MgCl2 (1.3), NaH2PO4 (1.25), NaHCO3 (25), and d‐glucose (11) with pH 7.3–7.4 when bubbled with 95% O2 and 5% CO2. Extracellular field potential recordings in neocortical layer II/III were performed using tungsten microelectrodes and a low‐noise multichannel amplifier (Dagan EX 4‐400) with a 1000 gain and digitized at 2 kHz using an analog to digital converter DigiData 1321A (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA.).

Patch-Clamp Analysis of mPanx1Δ371

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole cell currents were obtained with 3.0~4.5 MΩ borosilicate glass pipettes from Neuro2a cells transiently transfected with mPanx1Δ371. Cells were continuously perfused (~3 mL/min) at room temperature (23~25 °C) with a bath solution (pH 7.4) containing (in mM) 140 NaCl, 5 KCl, 2 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 10 glucose and 10 HEPES. To substitute extracellular Cl with gluconate, NaCl was replaced with equimolar Na-gluconate. The intracellular solution contained 140 CsCl, 5 NaCl, 5 MgCl2, 5 EGTA and 10 HEPES (pH 7.4). mPanx1Δ371-expressing cells were identified by GFP fluorescence. Whole-cell currents were recorded with an Axopatch 1D amplifier and a Digidata 1321A interface using pCLAMP 8 acquisition software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The current data were low-pass filtered at 500 Hz with a four-pole Bessel filter and digitized at 2 kHz. Cells were held at −100 mV and ramp voltage pulses (−100 mV to +100 mV over 500 ms; +100 mV for 125 ms) were applied at 5 s intervals.

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.
