Supplementary Figure 3: Neuronal NVsnpr bursting does not depend on a purinergic mechanism.
From: An astrocyte-dependent mechanism for neuronal rhythmogenesis
A tonically firing NVsnpr neuron (left) displayed rhythmic bursting after local extracellular application of BAPTA (10 mM; right) in presence of bath-applied Suramine (50 µM, n = 5/5 cells in 3 slices from 1 rat), a purinergic receptors antagonist, indicating that NVsnpr neuronal bursting does not depend on a purinergic mechanism triggered by the [Ca2+]e decrease.
