Ionic Currents Underlying Spontaneous Action Potentials in
Isolated Cerebellar Purkinje Neurons

Acutely dissociated cell bodies of mouse Purkinje neurons
spontaneously fired action potentials at ~50 Hz (25°C). To directly measure the ionic currents underlying spontaneous activity, we voltage-clamped the cells using prerecorded spontaneous action potentials (spike trains) as voltage commands and used ionic
substitution and selective blockers to isolate individual currents. The
largest current flowing during the interspike interval was
tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium current (approximately 50 pA between
65 and 60 mV). Although the neurons had large voltage-dependent
calcium currents, the net current blocked by cobalt substitution for
calcium was outward at all times during spike trains. Thus, the
electrical effect of calcium current is apparently dominated by rapidly
activated calcium-dependent potassium currents. Under current clamp,
all cells continued firing spontaneously (though ~30% more slowly) after block of T-type calcium current by mibefradil, and most cells
continued to fire after block of all calcium current by cobalt
substitution. Although the neurons possessed
hyperpolarization-activated cation current
(Ih), little current flowed during
spike trains, and block by 1 mM cesium had no effect on
firing frequency. The outward potassium currents underlying the
repolarization of the spikes were completely blocked by 1 mM TEA. These currents deactivated quickly (<1 msec) after
each spike. We conclude that the spontaneous firing of Purkinje neuron
cell bodies depends mainly on tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium current
flowing between spikes. The high firing rate is promoted by large
potassium currents that repolarize the cell rapidly and deactivate
quickly, thus preventing strong hyperpolarization and restoring a high
input resistance for subsequent depolarization.
