Differential effects of calcium and tetanic stimulation frequencies on hippocampal synaptic potentiation and depression

Chirwa, Sanika Samuel January 1985 (has links)
In the hippocampus, tetanic stimulation of an input results in a long lasting potentiation (LLP) of synaptic transmission involving that input. While high frequency tetanic stimulations are preferred to elicit LLP, low frequency tetanus induces homosynaptic and heterosynaptic depressions. The present investigations were conducted to (1) analyse the characteristics of pulses in orthodromic and antidromic tetanic stimulations and relate them to post-tetanic changes in evoked potentials (2) determine if potentiation and depression co-occur and (3) determine whether an established LLP in one input is subsequently modified by the initiation of LLP in another input (to the same CAlb neurons) or whether LLP can be reversed by homosynaptic and heterosynaptic depressions and lastly (4) determine how interference or enhancements of calcium and potassium fluxes with pharmacological substances related to potentiation and depression. Experiments were conducted on transversely sectioned rat hippocampal slices. Evoked potentials in subfield CAlb were elicited with stimulations of CAlb axons, commissural (Com), or Schaffer collaterals (Sch). Sch terminal excitability was tested with a stimulating electrode placed in the Sch/CAlb synaptic regions. Recordings were made with microelectrodes positioned in the CAlb cell bodies and/or dendritic regions, and in field CA3. It was found that potentiation and depressions co-occur. Presynaptic volleys accompanied all tested tetanic trains. Similarly, antidromic trains discharged CAlb neurons continuously but did not cause LLP. Low frequency tetanic trains caused facilitated synchronous discharges of CAlb neurons during significant portions of these trains. In contrast, few if any syn- chronous discharges followed high frequency tetanus. Yet high frequency tetanus elicited LLP and low frequency tetanus caused homo- and heterosynaptic depressions. An established LLP could be masked but not reversed by homo- and heterosynaptic depressions but this LLP was not interrupted by subsequently induced LLP of a separate input. Iontophoretic L-glutamate on CAlb cell bodies caused depression which was more pronounced if a tetanus was evoked during L-glutamate ejections. The depressions to low frequency tetanus and L-glutamate were counteracted by verapamil. Lastly, barium and 4-aminopyridine potentiations were reversed with washing. Applications of these drugs did not alter Sch terminal excitability. Tetanus induced during the presence of 4-aminopyridine still elicited LLP. It is concluded that homo- and heterosynaptic depressions are partly due to the accumulation of calcium into the CAlb neurons. The magnitude of calcium entry into presynaptic and postsynaptic regions is governed by the tetanic frequencies evoked. The results are consistent with a presynaptic mediated LLP. / Medicine, Faculty of / Anesthesiology, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Department of / Graduate

Topograhic distribution of human brain electrical activity associated with schizophrenia

Ciorciari, Joseph, jciorciari@swin.edu.au January 1999 (has links)
A literature review of the schizophrenia brain electrophysiology was undertaken with specific emphasis placed on the topographical distribution of evoked potentials (EPs). The outcomes of this review suggests that schizophrenia brain electrophysiology, demonstrate some differences, but with a variability reflective of the symptom heterogeneity. The literature associated with the use of attentional tasks while recording EPs, tended to demonstrate some consistency. The methodological issues associated with the EEG and EP recordings may also account for this variability. An evoked potential technique, which has been demonstrated to be sensitive to the changes in cognitive processes associated with attention, is the Steady State Probe Topography (SSPT) technique. The SSPT is a combination of both the Steady State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) and the Probe-ERP paradigm. This technique allows the SSVEP to be measured continuously, is relatively insensitive to artifact, and can display the topographic distribution of the SSVEP measures during the attentional task. The technique employs the use of a sixty-four channel EEG recording system. This consists of a multichannel electrode helmet; multichannel amplifier/filter, task presentation computer and a computer controlled data acquisition system. Software was also developed to analyse the recorded brain electrical activity to produce the SSVEP magnitude and phase versus time series for each electrode site. The topographic distribution of the SSVEP measures associated with specific events during attentional tasks could also be displayed. At the time of the pilot study, this technique had not been applied previously to the study of schizophrenia and therefore warranted further study. Two separate studies are reported; an investigative pilot study and a chronic group study. The pilot SSVEP and schizophrenia study was designed to examine the changes in the SSVEP and its topography, during the performance of a number of attentional or activation tasks to examine the possibility of hypofrontality. The tasks selected for the study were those previously used for the examination of hypofrontality with metabolic imaging techniques; the Continuous Performance Task (CPT) and the Wisconsin Card Sort (WCS). The SSVEP was elicited by a superimposed 13Hz flicker on the visual field, while subjects performed computerised versions of the neuropsychological tasks. Topographical maps of the SSVEP magnitude distribution were then interpolated and displayed as an animated sequence synchronised with particular events occurring during the tasks. In comparison to the male control group, male schizophrenic patients exhibited differences in the SSVEP topography for all tasks, possibly reflecting the deficits in behavioural indices. Overall, the findings indicated that the technique demonstrated some merit for further examination of frontal SSVEP topography in schizophrenia. In a larger study of twenty chronic schizophrenia patients, the frontal topographical distribution of the SSVEP was examined. The earlier pilot study finding of reduced frontal SSVEP amplitude was replicated. The issue of hypofrontality in schizophrenia was applied as a possible interpretation.
