Vi beskriver en metode, som kombinerer elektrofysiologiske og neuroanatomiske teknikker til at funktionelt karakterisere morphologically- og neurochemically identificerede neuroner in vitro; især de forskellige typer af kortikale hæmmende ins. Vigtige aspekter af proceduren er: (1) forudgående udvælgelse af potentielle INs; (2) intracellulære optagelse og neuron visualisering; og endelig (3) morfologisk og immuncytokemisk analyse af optagne ins. Selv om denne undersøgelse har behandlet PV-Ins i særdeleshed, kan d...

Hippocampus neuronale kredsløb har længe været genstand for intens kontrol, både med hensyn til anatomi og fysiologi, på grund af deres afgørende rolle i indlæring og hukommelse samt rumlig navigation i både mennesker og gnavere. Ligeledes er fremtrædende, men simpelt laminar organisering af hippocampus gør denne region et yndet genstand for undersøgelser vedrørende strukturelle og funktionelle egenskaber af kortikale netværk. Hippocampus kredsløb består af excitatoriske vigtigste celler (&gt; 80%) og en mindre (10-20%), men meget forskelligartede kohorte af hæmmende interneuroner 1-3. Interneuroner frigive γ-aminosmørsyre (GABA) fra deres axonterminaler som virker ved hurtigt ionotropiske GABAA-receptorer (GABAA R&#39;er) og langsomme metabotrope GABAB receptorer (GABAB Rs) 4. Disse inhibitoriske mekanismer modvægt excitation og regulere ophidselse af primære celler og dermedIR timing og mønster af decharge. Men GABA frigives fra interneuroner ikke kun fungerer på vigtigste celler, men også på interneuroner selv 5,6. Pre og postsynaptiske receptorer medierer feedback regulering og hæmmende gensidige interaktioner mellem de forskellige typer af interneuron. Disse hæmmende mekanismer i Interneuron netværk menes at være centrale for generering og udformningen af befolkningens aktivitet mønstre, navnlig svingninger på forskellige frekvenser 7. Whole-celle patch-clamp optagelse er en veletableret metode til undersøgelse af iboende egenskaber og synaptiske interaktioner af neuroner. Men på grund af den høje mangfoldighed Interneuron typer undersøgelse af inhibitoriske interneuroner kræver streng identifikation af de optagede celler. Som hippocampus Interneuron typer er kendetegnet ved distinkte morfologiske træk og neurokemiske markør udtryk, kombineret anatomiske og immunocytokemisk examination kan være et middel til at bestemme præcis interneuron identitet 6,8,9. I denne artikel beskriver vi en eksperimenterende tilgang, hvor hel-celle patch-clamp optagelser fra enkelte neuroner eller synaptisk koblede par er kombineret med intracellulær mærkning, efterfulgt af post-hoc morfologiske og immuncytokemiske analyse, der giver mulighed for karakterisering af langsom GABA B receptormedieret hæmmende effekt på identificerede interneuroner. Som et eksempel, har vi fokus på en større type interneuron, en delmængde af de såkaldte &quot;basket celler&quot; (BC), som innerverer Soma og proksimale dendritter sine postsynaptiske mål og er kendetegnet ved en &quot;hurtig spiking&quot; (FS) aflade mønster, en Axon tæt dækker cellen hovedlaget, og ekspression af calcium-bindende protein parvalbumin (PV) 10,11. Disse interneuroner vise store postsynaptiske hæmmende strømme, såvel som fremtrædende præsynaptisk modulering af deres synaptisk produktion som reaktion på GABA B R aktivering 12. Kombinationen af ​​teknikker beskrevet her kan anvendes lige godt til at undersøge iboende eller synaptiske mekanismer i en række andre identificerede neuron.

whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from morphologically- and neurochemically-identified hippocampal interneurons

GABAerge inhibitoriske interneuroner spiller en central rolle inden for neuronale kredsløb i hjernen. Interneuroner omfatter en lille delmængde af den neuronale befolkning (10-20%), men udviser en høj grad af fysiologiske, morfologiske og neurokemiske heterogenitet, hvilket afspejler deres forskellige funktioner. Derfor undersøgelse af interneuroner giver vigtige indsigt i tilrettelæggelsen principper og funktion af neuronale kredsløb. Det kræver imidlertid en integreret fysiologisk og neuroanatomiske tilgang til udvælgelse og identificering af de enkelte Interneuron typer. Whole-celle patch-clamp optagelse fra akutte hjerne skiver af transgene dyr, der udtrykker fluorescerende proteiner under initiativtagerne Interneuron-specifikke markører, giver en effektiv metode til at målrette og elektrofysiologisk karakterisere iboende og synaptiske egenskaber specifikke Interneuron typer. Kombineret med intracellulær farvestof mærkning, kan denne tilgang udvides med post-hoc-morphological og immuncytokemisk analyse, der gør det muligt systematisk identifikation af optagne neuroner. Disse metoder kan skræddersys til at passe en bred vifte af videnskabelige spørgsmål vedrørende funktionelle egenskaber af forskellige typer af corticale neuroner.

Forudsat at skive kvalitet er mærkbart god optagelse fra både CA1 pc&#39;er og FS-ins kan opnås med minimal besvær. Det transgene rotte linje udtrykker Venus / YFP under vGAT promotoren 13 ikke entydigt identificere FS-ins, eller endog BCS. Men optagelser fra INs i og omkring str. pyramidale, hvor tætheden af FS-ins er typisk høj 1, resulterer i en stor sandsynlighed for at vælge FS-ins (figur 2B). FS-ins kan skelnes ved deres karakteristiske fysiologiske egenskaber...

Whole-cell Patch-clamp Recordings from Morphologically- and Neurochemically-identified Hippocampal Interneurons

Helcelle-patch-clamp Optagelser fra Morphologically- og Neurochemically identificerede Hippocampale interneuroner

Corticale netværk styres af en lille, men varieret sæt hæmmende interneuroner. Funktionel undersøgelse af interneuroner kræver derfor målrettet optagelse og stringent identifikation. Beskrevet her er en kombineret tilgang, der involverer hele-celle optagelser fra en enkelt eller synaptisk koblede par af neuroner med intracellulær mærkning, post-hoc morfologiske og immuncytokemisk analyse.
