Synaptic excitability of the burst firing neurons in cat sensorimotor cortex in vitro.

Abstract:

:We have recently reported that the burst firing neurons are found in layer III as well as in layer V of cat sensorimotor cortex in vitro. In the present study, we examined the synaptic excitability of layer III neurons by white matter stimulation and compared with their firing patterns against the current injections through the recording microelectrodes. The firing patterns of layer III neurons were classified into three main classes as in our previous study, i.e., (1) regular spiking (RS), i.e., the tonic firing that often exhibited spike-frequency adaptation, (2) burst-and-single spiking (BS), i.e., the initial bursting followed by tonic firing, (3) repetitive-bursting (RB), the burst firing that recurred at fast frequency. In RS cells, single action potential was superimposed on the largest EPSPs among all cell types analyzed. BS cells also fired single action potential and never exhibited burst firing synaptically. Only in a part of RB cells, synaptic bursting instead of single action potential was evoked on smaller EPSPs. IPSPs could be observed in about 60% of all the recorded RS and BS cells, however, they were observed in only 10% of the RB cells.
