    Notes: Summary The actions of the convulsant drug pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) were studied on CA3 neurons of hippocampal slices (300–400 μm thick). In 9 out of 109 neurons, epileptic reactions were elicited during a single application of PTZ. After repeated applications of PTZ, 53 neurons showed periodic paroxysmal activity. They developed according to the following sequence: (i) Paroxysmal hyperpolarizations, (ii) burst activity, and (iii) typical paroxysmal depolarization shifts (PDS). The rate of occurrence was about 8/min. Paroxysmal hyper- and depolarizations appeared synchronously in pairs of neurons. The developmental sequence occurred in reverse during washing. After the onset of paroxysmal activity, bursts and PDS persisted if PTZ concentration in tissue ranged between about 2 and 10 mmol/l. When this range was exceeded in either direction, epileptic activity was abolished at a calcium concentration of 2.75 mmol/l. Decreasing and increasing the calcium concentration shifted the epileptogenic concentration range to lower and higher levels, respectively. It is concluded that repetition of PTZ application alters membrane properties of neurons and thus leads to paroxysmal events triggered by synaptic processes.

    Notes: Abstract Scizure susceptibility waxes and wanes in an apparently circadian manner in many epileptic patients. Fluctuations of melatonin concentration with highest levels during the night and lowest levels in the early morning could be involved in this phenomenon. Therefore, the action of melatonin on epileptic activity was tested. The experiments were carried out on human temporal neocortical slices cut from tissue resected for surgical treatment of epilepsy. Autoradiographic studies were performed on parallel slices with 100–120 pmol 2-[125I]iodomelatonin/l in the absence or presence of unlabelled melatonin. High-affinity binding sites of melatonin could be demonstrated in layers II–V of the temporal cortex. The binding was saturable, specific and occurred with low capacity. In electrophysiological studies, epileptiform field potentials were elicited by omission of Mg2+ from the superfusate and recorded from layers II–V. The frequency of occurrence of epileptiform field potentials was reduced to 0.5 of the initial value with application of melatonin (10 and 100 nmol/l) in each case. This effect was reversible upon washing. The findings favour the hypothesis that melatonin depresses epileptiform neuronal activity through specific neocortical receptors.

    Notes: Summary In rats the fast cortico-spinal pathway and its linkage to motoneurons of the distal portions of the forelimbs were examined by electrophysiological techniques: 1. Unilateral epicortical stimulation with a single pulse led to “flick”-like movements of corresponding muscle groups in the ipsi- and contralateral limbs. The effective stimulation points of the forelimbs were localized in fronto-central areas, those of the hindlimbs in centroparietal regions of the cortex. 2. After a single epicortical stimulus a cord dorsum potential appeared in all cervical, thoracal and lumbar segments, the early part of which could be shown to reflect the activity of fast cortico-spinal fibres conducting with a velocity of 60 m/s. The sites of origin of the cortical-spinal fibres mapped by antidromic stimulation exceeded the cortical regions determined as motor areas by orthodromic stimulation in parietal and occipital direction. 3. Single stimuli applied to the ipsi- and contralateral cortical surface caused a sequence of EPSP in all studied cervical motoneurons of the distal forearm. In nearly half of the impaled neurons the first EPSP was monosynaptic. Postsynaptic reactions following ipsi- and contralateral epicortical stimulation did not show significant differences both in flexor and extensor motoneurons. A minimum increase of the stimulus intensity beyond threshold level of the first EPSP led to action potentials in the early part of the synaptic response. The results demonstrate that in non-primates, showing skilled movements of the hand and digits, a powerful direct cortico-motoneuronal connection exists which is of predominant functional significance.

    Notes: Summary In rats the connections between cerebral cortex and lumbar motoneurons were studied by intracellular recording techniques: 1. After a single stimulus applied to the surface of the ipsi- and contralateral motor cortex (Elger et al., 1977) a sequence of postsynaptic potentials occurred consisting in an early and in a late component. 2. The early component of the postsynaptic response most often represented EPSP mediated by a pathway in which two or more neurons were interposed. In a minority of units monosynaptic EPSP appeared as well. In the case of disynaptic transmission interneurons were located at the segmental level. 3. In some motoneurons di- and multisynaptic IPSP were evoked by single ipsi- and contralateral stimuli. 4. The late component of the synaptic response represented by EPSP exceeded usually the early component in amplitude and often led to action potentials. 5. With increasing stimulus frequency the polysynaptic component fused to a sustained depolarization shift which was superimposed by the early part of the synaptic response. Parallel to the sustained neuronal depolarization the discharge frequency was transiently enhanced until spike generation failed. The results indicate that in lumbar motoneurons the polysynaptic PSP elicited by epicortical stimulation are of predominent functional significance.

    Notes: Summary Epileptic activity was elicited in the rat's motor cortex by local application of penicillin. At the neuronal level it consisted of typical paroxysmal depolarization shifts. The calcium agonist BAY K 8644 was injected into neurons showing such a discharge pattern. The application of this drug increased amplitude and afterdepolarization of paroxysmal neuronal depolarizations.

    Notes: The extracellular concentration of glutamate has previously been reported to increase to more than 10-fold the basal level during seizure activity. In the present study, we tested whether localized increases in extracellular glutamate concentration influence the rhythm of epileptiform discharges in the low-magnesium epilepsy model. In hippocampal slices of guinea-pigs, epileptiform activity was induced by omission of magnesium from the bath fluid. Glutamate and its subreceptor agonists N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) were ejected into different strata of the CA3 and CA1 regions using microiontophoretic and micropressure application. Glutamate, NMDA and AMPA applied to the CA3 region, but not to the CA1 region, induced a short-lasting increase in epileptiform discharge frequency, often followed by a transient reduction. The effect was most pronounced with application into the stratum lacunosum-moleculare of the CA3 region and could only be evoked in slices exceeding 400 μm in thickness. The effects on the rhythm of epileptiform discharges induced by NMDA and AMPA were blocked by their specific receptor antagonists. They were not influenced by application of GABAA and GABAB receptor antagonists. Changes in somatic membrane potential of CA3 pyramidal neurons did not correlate with changes in the rhythm of epileptiform discharges elicited in this region. The transient suppression of epileptiform discharges that followed the increase in discharge frequency was abolished by an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist. We propose that localized increases in extracellular glutamate concentration modify the rhythm of epileptiform discharges due to changes in neuronal network activity.
