title: [Changes in the ionic mechanisms of the electro-excitability of the somatic membrane of rat sensory neurons during ontogenesis. Density ratios of inward currents].
abstract: Correlations between densities of different types of inward currents in the somatic membrane of dorsal root ganglion neurons were studied in three age groups of rats (5-9 days, 45 days and 90 days postnatally). A linear dependence between the densities of high-threshold calcium and slow sodium currents was found. No correlation was observed between the densities of different inward currents in neurons with low-threshold calcium inward current. An inverse dependence was observed between the densities of transmembrane currents in cells having only two types of channels ("fast" sodium and high-threshold calcium ones). Neurons exhibiting slow TTX-resistant sodium and/or low-threshold calcium channels did not show inverse dependence between the densities of "fast" sodium and high-threshold calcium currents.
