Previous work done by our laboratory has demonstrated a reduction of the post-burst afterhyperpolarization (AHP) and accommodation following trace eyeblink conditioning in rabbit CA1 pyramidal neurons. Our laboratory has also demonstrated a reduction in the AHP in rat CA1 pyramidal neurons following spatial learning. In the current study we have extended our findings in rabbits by showing a reduction in both the AHP and accommodation in F344 X BN rat CA1 pyramidal neurons following acquisition of trace eyeblink conditioning. A component current of the AHP, I(M), was evaluated with a specific blocker of this current, and showed no apparent contribution to the learning-related increase in neuronal excitability. Rather, a reduction in an isoproterenol-sensitive component of the AHP, presumably sI(AHP), was observed to underlie the learning-specific change.
我们实验室之前的研究表明,家兔CA1锥体神经元在痕迹性眨眼条件反射后,爆发后超极化(AHP)和适应性降低。我们实验室还证明,大鼠CA1锥体神经元在空间学习后AHP降低。在本研究中,我们扩展了在兔子身上的发现,表明F344×BN大鼠CA1锥体神经元在获得痕迹性眨眼条件反射后,AHP和适应性均降低。使用该电流的特异性阻滞剂评估了AHP的一个成分电流I(M),结果显示它对学习相关的神经元兴奋性增加没有明显贡献。相反,观察到AHP中异丙肾上腺素敏感成分(可能是sI(AHP))的降低是学习特异性变化的基础。
