The PC12 line of rat pheochromocytoma cells [ 6 ] has proved to be a particularly favorable system for detecting NGF-responsive changes in gene expression [ 7 8 9 10 11 ] . These cells resemble sympathico-pheochromo-blasts and upon exposure to NGF cease proliferation and acquire, in a transcription dependent mechanism, many of the properties of post-mitotic sympathetic neurons including neurite outgrowth and electrical excitability.
The assumption that stuttering might be a form of dystonia—involuntary muscle contractions produced by the CNS—specific to language production (Kiziltan and Akalin 1996) was not supported by a study on motor cortex excitability (Sommer et al.
If the results presented here can be exprapolated to physiological situations that involve group I mGluRs, Siah1a expression in the mammalian nervous system could potentially play a role in cell excitability by influencing mGluR-mediated potassium current modulation (of M-type currents and perhaps of GIRK currents), and synaptic plasticity due to the role that group I mGluRs play in these processes [ 2 5 38 ] .
Small increases in pCO 2 (5-20% above normal) cause decreased cerebral excitability and an increased electroshock seizure threshold.
The knockout mouse is also susceptible to epileptic-like seizures - suggesting that the 5-HT 2C receptor has a role in tonic inhibition of neuronal excitability.
