neuronal injury wcrc The alteration of the voltage dependent Mg 2+ block of NMDA response by in viva investigated on the motoneurons of the dorsal motor nucleus (DMV) acutely dissociated from rats using a nystatin perforated patch recording. Axonal crush of DMV neurons were performed at the vagal nerve bundle at the neck. Reduction of Mg2+ block of NMDA response became obvious at18 hours after axonal injury and lasted until 10 days after the operation. Colchicine did not mimic the axonal injury, suggesting that reduction of Mg2+ block was brought by neuronal injury, not by the blockade of axonal transport. The modulators for intracellular protein kinasc C failed to recover Mg2+ block affected. In addition, a decrease of ifenprodil-sensitive components of NMDAinduced currents after axonal injury suggests that an alternation of subunits composing NMDA rcccptor might hc responsible for the reduction of Mg 2+ block of NMDA response by neuronal injury.
