Hippocampal evoked field potentials and interictal spikes in hippocampally kindled cats.
نویسنده
چکیده
Kindling-related changes of the hippocampal evoked field potentials and patterns of the spontaneous interictal spikes were investigated in 10 hippocampally kindled cats. A complex potential waveform was recorded by macroelectrodes placed in the CA3 region of the hippocampal gyrus and hilus of the gyrus dentatus, close to the granule cell layer, after stimulation of the entorhinal cortex. After high intensity repetitive (10/s) stimulation a late component could be recorded with the latency of about 30-40 ms, in addition to the early response originating in the gyrus dentatus. Probably this component developed during kindling into a delayed, high amplitude spike. After application of the double shock test, post-stimulus facilitation of the spike response was observed within time limits of 20-100 ms. Another observation was a widespread, ipsilateral and bilateral long-term enhancement of the amplitudes of field potentials evoked by entorhinal and intrahippocampal stimulation. It was the most common effect observed during kindling. Widespread synchronized discharges of hippocampal spikes and localized clusters of brief irregular spikes were the most significant features of spontaneous interictal spikes. The paroxysmal discharges of spikes could be evoked by ipsi or by contralateral stimulation of the afferent pathways projecting to the kindled hippocampus, rather than by direct electrical stimulation of the kindled hippocampal gyrus.

1) The rabbit hippocampus was kindled through daily electrical stimulation. The rabbit was then anesthetized with Nembutal, and interictal and brain stem-induced potentials, together with fornix-evoked potentials, were studied by observing the depth profiles of field potentials. 2) Interictal field potentials were characterized by the existence of a large slow positivity when recorded in CA1-CA...

The impact of pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling on the effectiveness of theta pattern primed-bursts (PBs) for the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSP) and population spikes (PS) were investigated in hippocampal CA1 of pentylenetetrazol-kindled rats in vivo. The results showed that shortly after kindling, control animals had normal LTP of...

Perfusing rat hippocampal slices with high-K+ (7.5 mM) saline induced brief population bursts originating in CA3 at 0.5-1 Hz and spreading synaptically into CA1. In 42% of the slices the brief bursts evoked in CA1 gave way every 0.5-2 s to sustained ictal (or seizure) episode with tonic and clonic components. Paired intra- and extracellular recordings in the CA1 pyramidal layer were used to cha...
