Abstract：
:Unitary excitatory (EPSP) and inhibitory (IPSP) postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) were evoked between neurons in Rexed's laminae (L)II-V of spinal slices from young hamsters (7-24 days old) at 27°C using paired whole cell recordings. Laminar differences in synaptic efficacy were observed: excitatory connections were more secure than inhibitory connections in LII and inhibitory linkages in LII were less reliable than those in LIII-V. A majority of connections displayed paired-pulse facilitation or depression. Depression was observed for both EPSPs and IPSPs, but facilitation was seen almost exclusively for IPSPs. There were no frequency-dependent shifts between facilitation and depression. Synaptic depression was associated with an increased failure rate and decreased PSP half-width for a majority of connections. However, there were no consistent changes in failure rate or PSP time course at facilitating connections. IPSPs evoked at high-failure synapses had consistently smaller amplitude and showed greater facilitation than low-failure connections. Facilitation at inhibitory connections was positively correlated with synaptic jitter and associated with a decrease in latency. At many connections, the paired-pulse ratio varied from trial to trial and depended on the amplitude of the first PSP; dependence was greater for inhibitory synapses than excitatory synapses. Paired-pulse ratios for connections onto neurons with rapidly adapting, "phasic" discharge to depolarizing current injection were significantly greater than for connections onto neurons with tonic discharge properties. These results are evidence of diversity in synaptic transmission between dorsal horn neurons, the nature of which may depend on the types of linkage, laminar location, and intrinsic firing properties of postsynaptic cells.
