Local inhibitory synaptic inputs to neurons of the rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) were studied by using glutamate microstimulation and conventional intracellular and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings in coronal, horizontal, and parasagittal slices of rat hypothalamus. PVN cells were classified as magnocellular or parvocellular neurons on the basis of electrophysiological and post hoc immunohistochemical analyses; GABA-producing neurons were localized with in situ hybridization. Glutamate microstimulation of different sites around the PVN evoked volleys of postsynaptic potentials in 43% of the PVN neurons tested. Some responses to stimulation at each site were blocked by bicuculline, suggesting that they were mediated by the activation of presynaptic GABA neurons. In the coronal plane, presynaptic inhibitory sites were located lateral to the PVN and ventral to the fornix, corresponding to the lateral hypothalamic area and the posterior bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). In the horizontal plane, presynaptic inhibitory sites were found rostral, lateral, and caudal to the nucleus, corresponding to parts of the anterior hypothalamic area, the posterior BNST, the medial preoptic area, and the dorsomedial hypothalamus. In the parasagittal plane, presynaptic inhibitory neurons were revealed at sites rostral and caudal to the nucleus, corresponding to the medial preoptic area and the dorsomedial hypothalamus, and in a site dorsal to the optic chiasm that included the suprachiasmatic nucleus. These presynaptic sites each contained GABA-producing neurons based on in situ hybridization with a glutamic acid decarboxylase riboprobe and together formed a three-dimensional ring around the PVN. Unexpectedly, both magnocellular and parvocellular neurons received inhibitory synaptic inputs from common sites.
Key words: brain slice; hypothalamus; inhibitory postsynaptic potential; paraventricular nucleus; magnocellular neuron; parvocellular neuron; hypophysiotropic; GABA; glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD); in situ hybridization
