Biphasic GABAA-mediated postsynaptic responses can be
readily evoked in CA1 pyramidal neurons of rat hippocampal slices by high-frequency stimulus (HFS) trains in the presence of ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists. In the present experiments with sharp
microelectrodes, whole-cell techniques, and
K+-selective microelectrodes, an HFS train (40 pulses at 100 Hz) applied in stratum radiatum close to the recording
site evoked a brief hyperpolarizing IPSP (hIPSP), which turned into a
prolonged (2-3 sec) depolarization ( ABA-mediated
epolarizing ostsynaptic otential; GDPSP). The I-V relationships of
the postsynaptic currents (hIPSC and GDPSC) had distinct
characteristics: the hIPSC and the early GDPSC showed outward
rectification, whereas the late GDPSC was reduced with positive voltage
steps to zero or beyond (inward rectification), but often no clear
reversal was seen. That two distinct currents contribute to the
generation of the GDPSP was also evident from the finding that a second
HFS train at peak or late GDPSP induced a prompt
GABAA-mediated hyperpolarization. The GDPSP/C was dependent
on the availability of bicarbonate, but not on interstitial or
intrapyramidal carbonic anhydrase activity.
The HFS train evoked a rapid GABAA-mediated
bicarbonate-dependent increase in the extracellular
K+ concentration
([K+]o), and the GDPSP followed
the K+ transient in a sub-Nernstian manner. The
spatial and pharmacological characteristics of the
[K+]o shift indicated that it is
generated by a local network of GABAergic interneurons. The brief
ascending phase of the GDPSP is linked to a
K+-dependent accumulation of intracellular
Cl . Thereafter, a nonsynaptic mechanism, a direct
depolarizing effect of the [K+]o
shift, is responsible for the most conspicuous characteristics of the
GDPSP: its large amplitude and prolonged duration.
