Zinc and copper are highly concentrated in several mammalian brain regions, including the olfactory bulb and hippocampus. Whole cell electrophysiological recordings were made from rat olfactory bulb neurons in primary culture to compare the effects of zinc and copper on synaptic transmission and voltage-gated ion channels. Application of either zinc or copper eliminated GABA-mediated spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. However, in contrast to the similarity of their effects on…

Divalent cations as modulators of neuronal excitability: emphasis on copper and zinc.
- Biology, ChemistryBiological research

The results support the idea that divalent cations are normal modulators of neuronal excitability and may be explained by the interaction of these ions with high and low affinity sites in voltage-gated channels.
Effects of copper on A-type potassium currents in acutely dissociated rat hippocampal CA1 neurons
- BiologyNeuroreport

It is indicated that copper reversibly inhibits the hippocampal CA1 neuronal voltage-gated A-type potassium current in a dose-dependent and voltage-dependent manner, and such actions are likely involved in the regulation of the neuronal excitability and the pathophysiology of Wilson's disease.

It is suggested that Cu2+ modulates the activity of nodose ganglion neurons and support nodoseganglion in vitro preparation as a simple model to study the subcellular mechanisms involved in the Cu2- effects on neuron electrical properties.

Electrophysiological evidence is provided that elevated extracellular zinc potentiates α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor-mediated synaptic events, and zinc-mediated potentiation leads to enhanced synaptic summation.

Differential modulation by zinc and copper of amino acid receptors from rat olfactory bulb neurons.
- BiologyJournal of neurophysiology
- 1996
The results suggest that endogenous zinc and copper may act as allosteric neuromodulators of amino acid receptors on olfactory bulb neurons and may provide a mechanism for differential modulation of inhibitory transmission because of their distinct effects on glycine versus GABA receptors.
Zinc enhances GABAergic transmission in rat neocortical neurons.
- BiologyJournal of neurophysiology

The results indicate that zinc may be an endogenously occurring neuromodulator that appears to enhance GABAergic IPSPs by increasing the excitability of inhibitory interneurons, thus resulting in increased GABA release.

The results show that the expression of the slow EPSP may be subject to regulation by several endogenous substances: positive modulation by glycine (or a glycine-like substance), which can be released from astroglial cells, and negative modulation by physiological levels of zinc.
