Abstract |
In an early developmental stage within postnatal 3 weeks, neurons in mammalian brains shows dynamic and rapid changes of prolein expression on cellular membrane, related with ion channels and receptors. Using acute slices of rat hippocampi (postnatal 7-21), change of cell capacitance measured electrophysiologically during developmental stages have been studied to find the correlation with resting membrane potentials(RMP), which are decided by ion channel expression on neuronal membrane. The change of RMP showed significant changes to be hyperpolarized during developmental periods. However, the size of neurons was not significantly increased. This result indicates that, in an early developmental stage, developmental processings of neurons may be concentrated for modulating protein/lipid ratio of cellular membranes, rather than physical developments. |
