Gastrodin Suppresses the Amyloid β-Induced Increase of Spontaneous Discharge in the Entorhinal Cortex of Rats by Peng-zhi Chen, Hui-hui Jiang, Bo Wen, Shuan-cheng Ren, Yang Chen, Wei-gang Ji, Bo Hu, Jun Zhang, Fenglian Xu, Zhi-ru Zhu

“…The results showed that the spontaneous discharge of EC neurons was increased by local application of soluble Aβ1−42 and that GAS can effectively reverse Aβ1−42-induced facilitation of spontaneous discharge in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, whole-cell patch clamp results indicated that the protective function of GAS on abnormal hyperexcitability may be partially mediated by its inhibitory action on Aβ1−42-elicited inward currents in EC neurons. …”
