  • While such a result is typically interpreted as a general rise in cytosolic calcium is sufficient to trigger the phenomenon under study, secondary effects of ionomycin leading to NMDA receptor activation cannot be excluded.

  • (B) Treatment with 5 µM ionomycin for 10 min caused ER fission along with a pronounced effect on gross dendritic structure (dendritic blebbing).

  • (F) Treatment with 25 µM MK-801 for 20 min prior to 5 µM ionomycin prevented ER fission and only caused minor effects on gross dendritic structure.
