title: [Plastic changes in responses of chemo- and electro-excitable membranes of a cortical neurons following orthodromal tetanization].
abstract: Orthodromic tetanization produces in the turtle visual cortex two types of reversible plastic changes of electrical responses: facilitation and depression. Posttetanic facilitation is attended with reversible enhancement of evoked postsynaptic potentials and APs; the excitability of the electroexcitable membrane increases: the critical level of depolarization of the evoked spike shifts in the negative direction and its threshold potential decreases. Posttetanic depression is accompanied by a reversible decrease of the amplitude of evoked postsynaptic and spike potentials; the excitability of the electroexcitable membrane decreases: the critical level of depolarization of the evoked spike shifts in the positive direction, and its threshold potential increases. Reversible changes of excitability of the spike generating membrane following tetanization testify to the existence of an active mechanism of spike discharge change.
