Subthalamic neurons drive basal ganglia output neurons in resting
animals and relay cortical and thalamic activity to the same output
neurons during movement. The first objective of this study was to
determine the mechanisms underlying the spontaneous activity of
subthalamic neurons in vitro and to gain insight into their resting discharge in vivo. The second objective
was to determine the response of subthalamic neurons to depolarizing
current injection and how intrinsic properties may shape their response
to cortical and thalamic inputs during movement.
Cell-attached and whole-cell recordings were made from subthalamic
neurons in brain slices prepared from 3- to 4-week-old rats. The slow,
rhythmic discharge of subthalamic neurons was resistant to blockade of
excitatory synaptic transmission indicating that intrinsic currents
underlie their spontaneous discharge. A persistent sodium current was
the source of current during the depolarizing phase of the oscillation.
A powerful afterhyperpolarization following each action potential was
sufficient to terminate the depolarization. A long duration component
of the spike afterhyperpolarization determined the period of the
oscillation and was generated by an apamin-sensitive calcium-activated
potassium current. Calcium entry responsible for that current was
associated with action potentials.
Subthalamic neurons exhibited a sigmoidal frequency-current
relationship with the steeper portion starting at ~30-40 Hz. This property makes subthalamic neurons more sensitive to input at high
firing rates associated with movement than at low rates associated with
rest. We propose that the subthreshold persistent sodium current
overcomes calcium activated potassium current which accumulates during
high frequency firing and underlies the enhanced sensitivity to current
>30 Hz.
Key words:
basal ganglia; subthalamic nucleus; persistent sodium
current; potassium current; calcium current; afterhyperpolarization; spontaneous activity; f-I relationship; spike frequency
adaptation
