Abstract

Slices of somatosensory cortex taken from immature rats on postnatal day (P)7-14 were labeled with fura-2. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was monitored in identified pyramidal cells as the ratio of fluorescence intensities (RF340/F380) during oxygen-glucose deprivation. The RF340/F380 ([Ca2+]i) of individual pyramidal cells was monitored in each of the cortical layers II-VI simultaneously. Neurons in all neocortical layers exhibited significant increases in [Ca2+]i that varied with the duration of oxygen-glucose deprivation. Individual neurons responded to oxygen-glucose deprivation with abrupt increases in [Ca2+]i after various latencies. The ceiling level of the [Ca2+]i increase differed from cell to cell. Neurons in layer II/III showed significantly greater increases in [Ca2+]i than those in layers IV, V, or VI. Kynurenic acid, a nonselective glutamate receptor antagonist, and bicuculline, a selective gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor antagonist, suppressed the intracellular Ca2+ accumulation induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation in all neocortical layers examined. After kynurenic acid, but not after bicuculline, there was no longer a differential [Ca2+]i increases in layer II/III. Both 2-amino-5-phosphono...Continue Reading

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.
