      Citation Excerpt :

      Of these, the actions of histamine on vasopressin neurons of the supraoptic nucleus have been most extensively investigated. Histamine, applied exogenously or released following stimulation of the TM, depolarises these cells, increases firing rate and burst duration (Haas et al., 1975; Haas and Wolf, 1977; Armstrong and Sladek, 1985; Smith and Armstrong, 1993). The mechanism responsible for the depolarisation is controversial and could be due to blockade of a leak potassium conductance (Li and Hatton, 1996), activation of a calcium-activated non-specific cation current or a Ca/Na pump (Smith and Armstrong, 1996).
