Cholinergic modulation of epileptiform activity in the developing rat neocortex.
The effects of carbachol on picrotoxin-induced epileptiform activity and membrane properties of neurons in the developing rat neocortex were examined in an in vitro slice preparation. Intracellular recordings were obtained in layer II-III neurons of slices prepared from rats 9-21 days of age. Epileptiform activity in 9- to 14-day-olds consisted of a sharply rising, sustained (10-30 s) membrane ...
متن کاملInvolvement of GABA(B) receptors in convulsant-induced epileptiform activity in rat neocortex in vitro.
The role of gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABA(B)) receptors in the generation and maintenance of bicuculline-induced epileptiform activity in rat neocortical slices was studied using electrophysiological methods. A block of GABA(B) receptors in the presence of functional GABA(A) receptor-mediated inhibition was not sufficient to induce epileptiform activity. In the presence of the GABA(A) recepto...
متن کاملInitiation, propagation, and termination of epileptiform activity in rodent neocortex in vitro involve distinct mechanisms.
Waves of epileptiform activity in neocortex have three phenomenological stages: initiation, propagation, and termination. We use a well studied model of epileptiform activity in vitro to investigate directly the hypothesis that each stage is governed by an independent mechanism within the underlying cortical circuit. Using the partially disinhibited neocortical slice preparation, activity is in...
متن کاملNeurobiology of Disease Modular Propagation of Epileptiform Activity: Evidence for an Inhibitory Veto in Neocortex
What regulates the spread of activity through cortical circuits? We present here data indicating a pivotal role for a vetoing inhibition restraining modules of pyramidal neurons. We combined fast calcium imaging of network activity with whole-cell recordings to examine epileptiform propagation in mouse neocortical slices. Epileptiform activity was induced by washing Mg 2 ions out of the slice. ...
متن کاملRegulation of epileptiform discharges in rat neocortex by HCN channels.
Hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated, nonspecific cation (HCN) channels have a well-characterized role in regulation of cellular excitability and network activity. The role of these channels in control of epileptiform discharges is less thoroughly understood. This is especially pertinent given the altered HCN channel expression in epilepsy. We hypothesized that inhibition of HCN...
