A novel, local inhibitory circuit in layer 2/3 of rat somatosensory
cortex is described that connects pyramidal cells reciprocally with
GABAergic vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive bipolar interneurons. In paired whole-cell recordings, the
glutamatergic unitary responses (EPSPs or EPSCs) in bipolar cells
evoked by repetitive (10 Hz) stimulation of a pyramidal cell show
strong frequency-dependent depression. Unitary IPSPs evoked in
pyramidal cells by repetitive stimulation of bipolar cells, on average, maintained their amplitude. This suggests that the excitatory synapses
on bipolar cells act as a low-pass filter in the reciprocal pyramid-to-bipolar circuit. The EPSCs in bipolar cells are mediated predominantly by AMPA receptor (AMPAR) channels. AMPARs desensitize rapidly and recover slowly from desensitization evoked by a brief pulse
of glutamate. In slices, reduction of AMPAR desensitization by
cyclothiazide (50-100 µM) or conditioning steady-state
desensitization induced by application of extracellular AMPA (50 nM) or glutamate (50 µM) strongly reduced
synaptic depression. It is concluded that in the local circuits between
pyramidal and bipolar cells the desensitization of AMPARs in bipolar
cells contributes to low-pass feedback inhibition of layer 2/3
pyramidal neurons by bipolar cells.
