Abstract
Although locomotion is known to be generated by networks of spinal neurons, knowledge of the properties of these neurons is limited. Using neonatal transgenic mice that express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) driven by the c-fos promoter, we visualized EGFP-positive neurons in spinal cord slices from animals that were subjected to a locomotor task or drug cocktail [N-methyl-D-aspartate, serotonin (5-HT), dopamine, and acetylcholine (ACh)]. The activity-dependent expression of EGFP was also induced in dorsal root ganglion neurons with electrical stimulation of the neurons. Following 60-90 min of swimming, whole cell patch-clamp recordings were made from EGFP+ neurons in laminae VII, VIII, and X from slices of segments T(12) to L(4). The EGFP+ neurons (n = 55) could be classified into three types based on their responses to depolarizing step currents: single spike, phasic firing, and tonic firing. Membrane properties observed in these neurons include hyperpolarization-activated inward currents (29/55), postinhibitory rebound (11/55), and persistent-inward currents (31/55). Bath application of 10-40 microM 5-HT and/or ACh increased neuronal excitability or output with hyperpolarization of voltage threshold and changes in membrane potential. 5-HT also increased input resistance, reduced the afterhyperpolarization (AHP), and induced membrane oscillations, whereas ACh reduced the input resistance and increased the AHP. In this study, we demonstrate a new way of identifying neurons active in locomotion. Our results suggest that the EGFP+ neurons are a heterogeneous population of interneurons. The actions of 5-HT and ACh on these neurons provide insights into the neuronal properties modulated by these transmitters for generation of locomotion.

Abstract
A new type of oscillon that arises from interaction between subcritical Turing and wave instabilities is found in a system of reaction-diffusion equations. These oscillons can be induced resonantly by localized external periodic perturbations. This phenomenon may be useful for frequency selection and/or information processing.

Abstract
Fos inducible transcription factor expression in rodent brains (rats and gerbils) during manipulations of vestibular input is reviewed. Stimuli included centripetal hypergravity, unilateral labyrinth lesion or semicircular canal plugging, rotational axis cross-coupling (Coriolis forces), high and low rotational vestibulo-ocular reflex gain adaptation, translabyrinth galvanic stimulation, pharmacological manipulation, and combinations thereof. Each type of stimulation elicited unique but partially redundant response patterns in the vestibulo-olivo-cerebellar (VOC) network that reflect the origin and interaction of the labyrinth inputs. On the basis of these patterns, a trained observer can predict what the animal experienced during testing; the patterns of VOC Fos expression reveal a trace of recent genomic activity. Based on principal component analysis, VOC network modules associated with lesion recovery, spatial representation and the calibration of gravity, and optokinetic influences are proposed. Probable and possible gene targets of the Fos protein are also reviewed.

Abstract
The role of glycinergic and GABAergic systems in mediating spontaneous synaptic transmission in newly formed neural networks was examined in motoneurons in the developing rat spinal cord. Properties of action potential-independent miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) mediated by glycine and GABA(A) receptors (GlyR and GABA(A)R) were studied in spinal cord slices of 17- to 18-day-old embryos (E17-18) and 1- to 3-day-old postnatal rats (P1-3). mIPSC frequency and amplitude significantly increased after birth, while their decay time decreased. To determine the contribution of glycinergic and GABAergic synapses to those changes, GlyR- and GABA(A)R-mediated mIPSCs were isolated based on their pharmacological properties. Two populations of pharmacologically distinct mIPSCs were recorded in the presence of glycine or GABA(A) receptors antagonists: bicuculline-resistant, fast-decaying GlyR-mediated mIPSCs, and strychnine-resistant, slow-decaying GABA(A)R-mediated mIPSCs. The frequency of GABA(A)R-mediated mIPSCs was fourfold higher than that of GlyR-mediated mIPSCs at E17-18, indicating that GABAergic synaptic sites were functionally dominant at early stages of neural network formation. Properties of GABA(A)R-mediated mIPSC amplitude fluctuations changed from primarily unimodal skewed distribution at E17-18 to Gaussian mixtures with two to three discrete components at P1-3. A developmental shift from primarily long-duration GABAergic mIPSCs to short-duration glycinergic mIPSCs was evident after birth, when the frequency of GlyR-mediated mIPSCs increased 10-fold. This finding suggested that either the number of glycinergic synapses or the probability of vesicular glycine release increased during the period studied. The increased frequency of GlyR-mediated mIPSCs was associated with more than a twofold increase in their mean amplitude, and in the number of motoneurons in which mIPSC amplitude fluctuations were best fitted by multi-component Gaussian curves. A third subpopulation of mIPSCs was apparent in the absence of glycine and GABA(A) receptor antagonists: mIPSCs with both fast and slow decaying components. Based on their dual-component decay time and their suppression by either strychnine or bicuculline, we assumed that these were generated by the activation of co-localized postsynaptic glycine and GABA(A) receptors. The contribution of mixed glycine-GABA synaptic sites to the generation of mIPSCs did not change after birth. The developmental switch from predominantly long-duration GABAergic inhibitory synaptic currents to short-duration glycinergic currents might serve as a mechanism regulating neuronal excitation in the developing spinal networks.

Abstract
We describe three slow muscles that responded to low-frequency modulation of a high-frequency neuronal input and, consequently, could express the motor patterns of neural networks whose neurons did not directly innervate the muscles. Two of these muscles responded to different frequency components present in the same input, and as a result each muscle expressed the motor pattern of a different, non-innervating, neural network. In an analogous manner, the distinct dynamics of the multiple intracellular processes that most cells possess may allow each process to respond to, and hence differentiate among, specific frequency ranges present in broad-band input.

Abstract
Voltage-gated sodium channels isolated from mammalian brain are composed of alpha, beta1, and beta2 subunits. The alpha subunit forms the ion conducting pore of the channel, whereas the beta1 and beta2 subunits modulate channel function, as well as channel plasma membrane expression levels. beta1 and beta2 each contain a single, extracellular Ig-like domain with structural similarity to the neural cell adhesion molecule (CAM), myelin Po. beta2 contains strong amino acid homology to the third Ig domain and to the juxtamembrane region of F3/contactin. Many CAMs of the Ig superfamily have been shown to interact with extracellular matrix molecules. We hypothesized that beta2 may interact with tenascin-R (TN-R), an extracellular matrix molecule that is secreted by oligodendrocytes during myelination and that binds F3-contactin. We show here that cells expressing sodium channel beta1 or beta2 subunits are functionally modulated by TN-R. Transfected cells stably expressing beta1 or beta2 subunits initially recognized and then were repelled from TN-R substrates. The cysteine-rich amino-terminal domain of TN-R expressed as a recombinant peptide, termed EGF-L, appears to be responsible for the repellent effect on beta subunit-expressing cells. The epidermal growth factor-like repeats and fibronectin-like repeats 6-8 are most effective in the initial adhesion of beta subunit-expressing cells. Application of EGF-L to alphaIIAbeta1beta2 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes potentiated expressed sodium currents without significantly altering current time course or the voltage dependence of current activation or inactivation. Thus, sodium channel beta subunits appear to function as CAMs, and TN-R may be an important regulator of sodium channel localization and function in neurons.

Abstract
Luminescence continues to provide comprehensive literature surveys which will be published in most issues. These are a continuation of the literature surveys begun in 1986 in the Journal of Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence which, up until 1998, encompassed more than 6000 references cited by year or specialized topic. With this newly named journal these searches are expanding to reflect the journal's wider scope. In future we will cover all fundamental and applied aspects of biological and chemical luminescence and include not only bioluminescence and chemiluminescence but also fluorescence, time resolved fluorescence, electrochemiluminescence, phosphorescence, sonoluminescence, lyoluminescence and triboluminescence. The compilers would be pleased to receive any comments from the readership. Contact by e-mail: L.J. Kricka: larry_kricka@path1a.med.upenn.edu or P.E.

Abstract
Patterned neural activity modifies central synapses during development and the physiological properties of skeletal muscle by selectively repressing or stimulating transcription of distinct genes. The effects of neural activity are mostly mediated by calcium. Of particular interest are the cellular mechanisms that may be used to sense and convert changes in calcium into specific alterations in gene expression. Recent studies have addressed the importance of spatial heterogeneity or of temporal changes in calcium levels for the regulation of gene expression.

Abstract
Development of ionic currents underlying changes in action potential waveforms in rat spinal motoneurons. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 3047-3061, 1998. Differentiation of the ionic mechanism underlying changes in action potential properties was investigated in spinal motoneurons of embryonic and postnatal rats using whole cell voltage- and current-clamp recordings. Relatively slow-rising, prolonged, largely Na+-dependent action potentials were recorded in embryonic motoneurons, and afterdepolarizing potentials were elicited in response to prolonged intracellular injections of depolarizing currents. Action potential amplitude, as well as its rates of rise and repolarization significantly increased, and an afterhyperpolarizing potential (AHP) became apparent immediately after birth. Concurrently, repetitive action potential firing was elicited in response to a prolonged current injection. To determine the ionic mechanism underlying these changes, the properties of voltage-gated macroscopic Na+, Ca2+, and K+ currents were examined. Fast-rising Na+ currents (INa) and slow-rising Ca2+ currents (ICa) were expressed early in embryonic development, but only INa was necessary and sufficient to trigger an action potential. INa and ICa densities significantly increased while the time to peak INa and ICa decreased after birth. The postnatal increase in INa resulted in overshooting action potential with significantly faster rate of rise than that recorded before birth. Properties of three types of outward K+ currents were examined: transient type-A current (IA), noninactivating delayed rectifier-type current (IK), and Ca2+-dependent K+ current (IK(Ca)). The twofold postnatal increase in IK and IK(Ca) densities resulted in shorter duration action potential and the generation of AHP. Relatively large IA was expressed early in neuronal development, but unlike IK and IK(Ca) its density did not increase after birth. The three types of K+ channels had opposite modulatory actions on action potential firing behavior: IK and IA increased the firing rate, whereas IK(Ca) decreased it. Our findings demonstrated that the developmental changes in action potential waveforms and the onset of repetitive firing were correlated with large increases in the densities of existing voltage-gated ion channels rather than the expression of new channel types.

Abstract
Studies of mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons in vitro demonstrate that ion channel function and regulation can influence a wide range of developmental processes. The work suggests that much as exposure to different trophic factors, the pattern of impulse activity a neuron experiences can have significant structural and functional effects during development. Studies concerning effects of ion channel activity on growth cone motility, axon fasciculation, synaptic plasticity, myelination, and intracellular signaling pathways regulating gene expression are presented in the context of changes in endogenous firing patterns during development.

Abstract
Specific patterns of neural impulses regulate genes controlling nervous system development and plasticity, but it is not known how intracellular signaling cascades and transcriptional activation mechanisms can regulate specific genes in response to specific patterns of action potentials. Studies using electrical stimulation of mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons in culture show that the temporal dynamics of intracellular signaling pathways are an important factor. Expression of c-fos varied inversely with the interval between repeated bursts of action potentials. Transcription was not dependent on a large or sustained increase in intracellular Ca2+, and high Ca2+ levels separated by long interburst intervals (5 min) produced minimal increases in c-fos expression. Levels of the transcription factor cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB), phosphorylated at Ser-133, increased rapidly in response to brief action potential stimulation but remained at high levels several minutes after an action potential burst. These kinetics limited the fidelity with which P-CREB could follow different patterns of action potentials, and P-CREB levels were not well correlated with c-fos expression. The extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) also were stimulated by action potentials of appropriate temporal patterns. Bursts of action potentials separated by long intervals (5 min) did not activate MAPK effectively, but they did increase CREB phosphorylation. This was a consequence of the more rapid dephosphorylation of MAPK in comparison to CREB. High expression of c-fos was dependent on the combined activation of the MAPK pathway and phosphorylation of CREB. These observations show that temporal features of action potentials (and associated Ca2+ transients) regulate expression of neuronal genes by activating specific intracellular signaling pathways with appropriate temporal dynamics.

Abstract
Temporal patterning of biological variables, in the form of oscillations and rhythms on many time scales, is ubiquitous. Altering the temporal pattern of an input variable greatly affects the output of many biological processes. We develop here a conceptual framework for a quantitative understanding of such pattern dependence, focusing particularly on nonlinear, saturable, time-dependent processes that abound in biophysics, biochemistry, and physiology. We show theoretically that pattern dependence is governed by the nonlinearity of the input-output transformation as well as its time constant. As a result, only patterns on certain time scales permit the expression of pattern dependence, and processes with different time constants can respond preferentially to different patterns. This has implications for temporal coding and decoding, and allows differential control of processes through pattern. We show how pattern dependence can be quantitatively predicted using only information from steady, unpatterned input. To apply our ideas, we analyze, in an experimental example, how muscle contraction depends on the pattern of motorneuron firing.

Abstract
Cellular Ca2+ buffers determine amplitude and diffusional spread of neuronal Ca2+ signals. Fixed Ca2+ buffers tend to retard the signal and to lower the apparent diffusion coefficient (D(app)) of Ca2+, whereas mobile buffers contribute to Ca2+ redistribution. To estimate the impact of the expression of specific Ca2+-binding proteins or the errors in Ca2+ measurement introduced by indicator dyes, the diffusion coefficient De and the Ca2+-binding ratio kappa(e) of endogenous Ca2+ buffers must be known. In this study, we obtain upper bounds to these quantities (De < 16 microm2/s; kappa(e) < 60) for axoplasm of metacerebral cells of Aplysia california. Due to these very low values, even minute concentrations of indicator dyes will interfere with the spatiotemporal pattern of Ca2+ signals and will conceal changes in the expression of specific Ca2+-binding proteins, which in the native neuron are expected to have significant effects on Ca2+ signals.

Abstract
Nerve impulses regulate expression of genes that control receptors, channels, enzymes, and structural proteins. This activity-dependent feedback allows adaptation to changing requirements and environmental conditions. The signal transduction mechanisms carrying information from the cell membrane to the nucleus are becoming well characterized, but a more dynamic view of intracellular signaling is emerging to explain cellular responses to specific patterns of neural impulses. This review analyzes this interface between electrophysiology and molecular cell biology to examine the signals, substrates, and processes that enable the nervous system to regulate its structure and function as a consequence of its own operation.

Abstract
The recognition that intracellular free calcium serves as a ubiquitous intracellular signal has motivated efforts to elucidate mechanisms by which cells regulate calcium influx. One route of entry that may offer both spatial and temporal fine resolution for altering calcium levels is that provided by cation-permeable, ligand-gated ion channels. Biophysical measurements as well as calcium imaging techniques demonstrate that neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors as a class have a high relative permeability to calcium; some subtypes equal or exceed all other known receptors in this respect. Activation of nicotinic receptors on neurons can produce substantial increases in intracellular calcium levels by direct passage of calcium through the receptor channel. When multiple classes of nicotinic receptors are expressed by the same neuron, each appears capable of increasing calcium in the cell but may differ with respect to location, temporal response, agonist sensitivity, or regulation in achieving it. As a result, nicotinic receptors must be considered strong candidates for signaling molecules through which neurons regulate a diverse array of cellular events.
