Firing pattern modulation by oscillatory input in supragranular pyramidal neurons.
Neocortical neurons in vivo receive periodic stimuli due to feedforward input from the periphery as well as local cellular and circuit properties. In order to understand how neurons process such information, the responses of neurons to periodic sine wave current stimuli of varying frequencies and amplitudes were investigated. Sine wave stimuli were injected into pyramidal cells of young adult f...
متن کاملSlow oscillatory firing: a major firing pattern of dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area.
Using spectral analysis and in vivo single-unit recording in rats, the present study revealed a pronounced slow oscillation (SO) in the firing activity of about half the dopamine (DA) neurons recorded in the ventral tegmental area. DA neurons in this group tended to fire repetitive spike clusters, making them appear to be rhythmic bursting cells. However, only some of these burst-like events me...
متن کاملSerotonergic modulation of supragranular neurons in rat sensorimotor cortex.
Numerous observations suggest diverse and modulatory roles for serotonin (5-HT) in cortex. Because of the diversity of cell types and multiple receptor subtypes and actions of 5-HT, it has proven difficult to determine the overall role of 5-HT in cortical function. To provide a broader perspective of cellular actions, we studied the effects of 5-HT on morphologically and physiologically identif...
متن کاملEnhanced infragranular and supragranular synaptic input onto layer 5 pyramidal neurons in a rat model of cortical dysplasia.
Cortical dysplasias frequently underlie neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy. Rats with a neonatally induced cortical microgyrus [freeze-lesion (FL)], a model of human polymicrogyria, display epileptiform discharges in vitro. We probed excitatory and inhibitory connectivity onto neocortical pyramidal neurons in layers 2/3 and 5 of postnatal day 16-22 rats, approximately 1-2 mm lateral of t...
متن کاملInput transformation by dendritic spines of pyramidal neurons
In the mammalian brain, most inputs received by a neuron are formed on the dendritic tree. In the neocortex, the dendrites of pyramidal neurons are covered by thousands of tiny protrusions known as dendritic spines, which are the major recipient sites for excitatory synaptic information in the brain. Their peculiar morphology, with a small head connected to the dendritic shaft by a slender neck...
