Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and immunocytochemical
experiments were performed to determine the short- and long-term effects of lateral fluid percussion head injury on the perisomatic inhibitory control of dentate granule cells in the adult rat, with
special reference to the development of trauma-induced
hyperexcitability. One week after the delivery of a single, moderate
(2.0-2.2 atm) mechanical pressure wave to the neocortex, the
feed-forward inhibitory control of dentate granule cell discharges was
compromised, and the frequency of miniature IPSCs was decreased.
Consistent with the electrophysiological data, the number of hilar
parvalbumin (PV)- and cholecystokinin (CCK)-positive dentate
interneurons supplying the inhibitory innervation of the perisomatic
region of granule cells was decreased weeks and months after head
injury. The initial injury to the hilar neurons took place
instantaneously after the impact and did not require the recruitment of
active physiological processes. Furthermore, the decrease in the number of PV- and CCK-positive hilar interneurons was similar to the decrease
in the number of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor subunit 2/3-immunoreactive mossy cells, indicating that the pressure
wave-transient causes injurious physical stretching and bending of most
cells that are large and not tightly packed in a cell layer.
These results reveal for the first time that moderate pressure
wave-transients, triggered by traumatic head injury episodes, impact
the dentate neuronal network in a unique temporal and spatial pattern,
resulting in a net decrease in the perisomatic control of granule cell
discharges.
