Noradrenaline (NA) from the locus coeruleus and GABA from
intracortical nonpyramidal cells exert strong influences on cortical activity. To assess possible interaction between the two, the effects
of noradrenergic agonists on spontaneous GABAergic IPSCs as well
as on the activity of identified GABAergic cell types were investigated
by in vitro whole-cell recordings from the frontal cortex of 18- to 22-d-old rats. NA (3-50 µM) and an
-adrenergic agonist, 6-fluoronorepinephrine (FNE; 30-50
µM), induced an increase of IPSC frequency in pyramidal
cells, but a -adrenergic agonist did not. This increase was
reduced by tetrodotoxin, bicuculline, and -adrenergic antagonists,
suggesting that GABAergic cells are excited via -adrenoceptors.
Fast-spiking or late-spiking cells were depolarized by application of
NA or FNE, but none demonstrated spike firings. The former
morphologically included common multipolar cells with extended axonal
arborizations as well as chandelier cells, and the latter
neurogliaform cells. Most somatostatin-immunoreactive regular or
burst-spiking cells, including Martinotti cells and wide arbor cells,
were depolarized and accompanied by spike firing. In a few cases this
was preceded by hyperpolarization. Cholecystokinin-immunoreactive regular or burst-spiking nonpyramidal cells, including large basket cells, were affected heterogeneously: depolarization, hyperpolarization followed by depolarization, or hyperpolarization resulted. The findings
suggest that, similar to the effects of acetylcholine, the
excitability of cortical GABAergic cell types is differentially regulated by NA and that NA actions are similar to cholinergic ones in
some GABAergic cell types but not in others.
