    Notes: Summary 1. The single nerve fibre responses of ampullae of Lorenzini to electric and magnetic stimulation were studied in the Black Sea Skates,Trygon pastinaca andRaja clavata. 2. Thresholds for electric stimulation were in the range 1·10−10 – 1·10−8 A/mm2. 3. Electrical coupling between receptors associated with different ampullar canals was found to exist (Fig. 2). 4. The receptors responded only to a changing magnetic field, the constant field being without effect (Fig. 3, 4). 5. The minimum thresholds for magnetic stimulation were 0.8 and 20 Gs/ sec for dorsal and mandibular receptors, respectively. 6. Receptor thresholds to magnetic stimulation were found to be dependent on the length of the ampullar canal and sensitivity to electric current (Fig. 7). 7. The character of the responses depended on both the direction of the magnetic field and the position of the receptor (Fig. 6). 8. The mechanism of the magnetic field effect was analyzed. 9. Skates can possibly perceive the magnetic field of the earth.

    Notes: Abstract.  We consider the problem of the existence of a negative slope region (NSR) in the voltage-current curve of the neuronal membrane and the relationship between this phenomenon and the membrane parameters. For the Hodgkin-Huxley model it is proposed to determine the dependence of the number of NSR on the values of the maximal sodium (g¯Na) and potassium (g¯K) conductances. The method is suggested for constructing the boundaries on the (g¯Na, g¯K) plane, in passing through which the number of NSR changes to 1. Using the method we partition the (g¯Na, g¯K) plane into the regions corresponding to the curves with the different number of NSR. This number can be changed from 0 to 2 in changing the values of g¯Na and g¯K over the physiologically possible range.

    Notes: Abstract The property of an excitable membrane of a nerve cell to change the type of electrical activity has been examined with the change of the value of applied current (I). The dependence of this property on the values of the membrane parameters is determined. Two different functional states depending on the values of the membrane parameters are considered. For one of the states a change in the value of I is accompanied by a change in the type of activity (damped periodic oscillations jump to undamped periodic oscillations or vice versa). For the other state the type of activity remains phasic (damped periodic oscillations) for each value of I. For the mathematical model of a membrane we have considered the problem of obtaining the boundary, partitioning the parameter space into the regions to which these functional states correspond. We suggest a mathematical set of this problem and give its algorithm. These boundaries have been constructed for two different variable parameters of the model. A good agreement between the boundaries and the experimental values of sodium and potassium conductances for different excitable membranes has been obtained.

    Partition of the Hodgkin-Huxley type model parameter space into the regions of qualitatively different solutions (1992)

    Notes: Abstract We have examined the problem of obtaining relationships between the type of stable solutions of the Hodgkin-Huxley type system, the values of its parameters and a constant applied current (I). As variable parameters of the system the maximal Na+(gNa),K+(gK) conductances and shifts (Gm, Gh, Gn) of the voltage-dependences have been chosen. To solve this problem it is sufficient to find points belonging to the boundary, partitioning the parameter space of the system into the regions of the qualitatively different types of stable solutions (steady states and stable periodic oscillations). Almost all over the physiological range of I, a type of stable solution is determined by the type of steady state (stable or unstable). Using this fact, the approximate solution of this problem could be obtained by analyzing the spectrum of eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix for the linearized system. The families of the plane sections of the boundary have been constructed in the three-parameter spaces (I, gNa,gK), (I, Gm, Gh), (I, Gm, Gn).

    Notes: Abstract. We examine the problem of constructing the boundary of bursting oscillations on a parameter plane for the system of equations describing the electrical behaviour of the membrane neuron arising from the interaction of fast oscillations of the cytoplasma membrane potential and slow oscillations of the intracellular calcium concentration. As the boundary point on the parameter plane we consider the values at which the limit cycle of the slow subsystem is tangent to the Hopf bifurcation curve of the fast subsystem. The method suggested for determining the boundary is based on the dissection of the system variables into slow and fast. The strong point of the method is that it requires the integration of the slow subsystem only. An example of the application of the method for the stomatogastric neuron model [Guckenheimer J, Gueron S, Harris-Warrick RM (1993) Philos Trans R Soc Lond B 341: 345–359] is given.

    Effects of excitatory amino acid antagonists on synaptic transmission in the ampullae of Lorenzini of the skate Raja clavata (1991)

    Notes: Summary 1. The effects of excitatory amino acid antagonists on synaptic transmission in the ampullae of Lorenzini of the skate Raja clavata were studied. 2. At concentrations of 10-3 to 10-6 M, l-glutamic acid diethylester (GDEE) and l-glutamic acid dimethylester (GDME) decreased the resting afferent discharge frequency as well as the electrically evoked activities and depressed the responses to application of excitatory amino acids. 3. d-α-Aminoadipic acid (AA) and 2-amino-4 phosphonobutyric acid (APB) had practically no effect either on resting afferent discharge or on evoked afferent activity. 4. 2-Amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV) reduced the resting afferent discharge and electrically evoked activity in the afferent fibres. APV blocked N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) induced responses at a lower concentration than those induced by aspartate. 5. Responses caused by NMDA were Mg2+-dependent; those to quisqualate (Q) application depended to a lesser degree on the Mg2+ concentration. 6. Cis-2,3-piperidinedicarboxylic acid (PDA) blocked both the resting afferent discharge and the electrically evoked activity; it also reversibly blocked the postsynaptic, amino acid-induced responses. The l-glutamate (l-GLU) response was more resistant to the blockade than the l-aspartate (l-ASP) response. 7. Both kynurenic acid (KEN) and γ-d-glutamylglycine (DGG) reduced the resting and evoked activities in the afferent fibres. l-ASP was more resistant to blockade by KEN than l-GLU. 8. These observations suggest a prominent physiological role of quisqualate-, kainate- and NMDA-preferring receptors in the ampullae of Lorenzini of Raja clavata.

    Notes: Summary 1. Potassium and sodium concentrations within the Pacinian corpuscle fluid have been investigated in adult cats. The sodium and potassium contents of samples were estimated by means of integrative ultramicroflame photometry. 2. The analytical results showed the values of the potassium concentration in the Pacinian corpuscle fluid and in the blood plasma to be 6.19±0.72 and 2.78±0.38 mequiv/l, respectively. 3. The increasing excitability of the Pacinian corpuscle in potassium-rich solution was shown by electrophysiologic methods. In potassium-free solution two phases of changing receptor excitability were observed. 4. Removal of sodium from external solution reduced the receptor potential to 10% of its original value. 5. Some mechanisms of the increase in excitability of primary tissue mechanoreceptors and secondary mechanoreceptors of the sense organs are discussed.
