Ischaemia-induced long-term hyperexcitability in rat neocortex

The European Journal of Neuroscience

Abstract

The long-term structural and functional consequences of transient forebrain ischaemia were studied with morphological, immunohistochemical and in vitro electrophysiological techniques in the primary somatosensory cortex of Wistar rats. After survival times of 10-17 months postischaemia, neocortical slices obtained from ischaemic animals were characterized by a pronounced neuronal hyperexcitability in comparison with untreated age-matched controls. Extra- and intracellular recordings in supragranular layers revealed all-or-none long-latency recurrent responses to orthodromic synaptic stimulation of the afferent pathway. These responses were characterized by durations up to 1.7 s, by multiple components and by repetitive synaptic burst discharges. The reversible blockade of this late activity by DL-amino-phosphonovaleric acid (APV) suggested that this activity was mediated by N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. The peak conductance of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials was significantly smaller in neurons recorded in neocortical slices obtained from ischaemic animals than those from the controls. However, the average number of parvalbumin (PV)-labelled neurons per mm3, indicative of a subpopulation of GABAergic interneurons, a...Continue Reading
