Abstract:
:The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the axodendritic tree in the generation of bursting pacemaker activity in the identified Helix RPa1 neuron, which is homologous to the Aplysia R15 cell, and propagation of action potentials along the axons. In doing so, I used recording of RPa1 neuron electrical activity after cutting off the right or left parietovisceral connections, the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique, registration of electrical activity of visceral nerve containing RPa1 axon branches, isolation of the RPa1 neuron and puff application of oxytocin on it. Cutting of the right (but not left) parietovisceral connection in all cases (more than 15 preparations) evoked complete disappearance of bursting pacemaker activity in the RPa1 neuron and hyperpolarization of its membrane potential up to -65 to -67 mV. Such silent state of the RPa1 neuron was maintained after its complete isolation from the ganglion. The described cutting did not result in a change of bursting activity of the pacemaker neuron V7 located in the visceral ganglion, although isolation of the V7 neuron also eliminated its own activity. Puff application of oxytocin (10 microM in a micropipette) on to the RPa1 neuron both after cutting the right parietovisceral connection or isolation of the neuron from the ganglion resulted in all cases (more than 10 cells) in transient depolarization with development of beating, oscillatory or bursting activity. Voltage clamping of RPa1 soma in the intact ganglion at a level close to zero membrane current sometimes, and, as a rule, at a more depolarized level, revealed bursting-like oscillations of membrane current, reflecting electrical bursting activity in the unclamped remote region of a neuron, most likely in the dendritic tree. Voltage clamping of RPa1 soma possessing bursting activity reveals bursting-like oscillation of membrane current and prevents propagation of corresponding axon action potentials in the visceral nerve. Controversially, clamping of RPa1 soma possessing beating activity exhibits a beating-like oscillation of membrane current and does not prevent propagation of corresponding action potentials in the nerve. Within the framework of the developed hypothesis that persistent bursting pacemaker activity of the RPa1 neuron is due to a constant activation of its peptidergic synaptic inputs [Kononenko N. I. (1993) Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 106A, 135-147], the experimental results were interpreted in the manner that these synapses and, correspondingly, the locus of electrical bursting activity generation, are localized on the dendritic tree of the RPa1 neuron mainly or possibly exclusively in the visceral ganglion. It is hypothesized that bursting and beating neuronal activities are due to functioning of different loci of the dendritic tree, regarding their electrical relations with axon branches.
