Abstract
Magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) display activity-dependent changes in spike duration to modulate Ca2+ influx both in their somata, and in their axon terminals in the neurohypophysis. This study reveals (i) that Ca2+ influx is required to mediate the expression of spike broadening, and (ii) that internal Ca2+ activates a delayed component of spike repolarization in MNCs of the rat supraoptic nucleus. This mechanism provides a rapid feedback control of spike-mediated Ca2+ influx in these neuroendocrine cells.Entities:
