Ca2+ influx and activation of a cation current are coupled to intracellular Ca2+ release in peptidergic neurons of Aplysia californica

1. Stimulation of inputs to bag cell neurons in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia californica causes an increase in their intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We have used thapsigargin, a specific inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump, to analyse the effects of Ca2+ released from i...
