Role of Thalamic and Cortical Neurons in Augmenting Responses and Self-Sustained Activity: Dual Intracellular Recordings In Vivo

Progressively increasing (augmenting) responses are elicited in thalamocortical systems by repetitive stimuli at ~10 Hz. Repeated pulse trains at this frequency lead to a form of short-term plasticity consisting of a persistent increase in depolarizing synaptic responses as well as a prolonged decrease in inhibitory responses. In this study, we have investigated the role of thalamocortical (TC) and neocortical neurons in the initiation of thalamically and cortically evoked augmenting responses. Dual intracellular recordings in anesthetized cats show that thalamically evoked augmenting responses of neocortical neurons stem from a secondary depolarization (mean onset latency of 11 msec) that develops in association with a diminution of the early EPSP. Two nonexclusive mechanisms may underlie the increased secondary depolarization during augmentation: the rebound spike bursts initiated in simultaneously recorded TC cells, which precede by ~3 msec the onset of augmenting responses in cortical neurons; and low-threshold responses, uncovered by hyperpolarization in cortical neurons, which may follow EPSPs triggered by TC volleys. Thalamic stimulation proved to be more efficient than cortical stimulation at producing augmenting responses. Stronger augmenting responses in neocortical neurons were found in deeply located (<0.8 mm, layers V-VI) regular-spiking and fast rhythmic-bursting neurons than in superficial neurons. Although cortical augmenting responses are preceded by rebound spike bursts in TC cells, the duration of the self-sustained postaugmenting oscillatory activity in cortical neurons exceeds that observed in TC neurons. These results emphasize the role of interconnected TC and cortical neurons in the production of augmenting responses leading to short-term plasticity processes.
