Differential modulation of auditory thalamocortical and intracortical synaptic transmission by cholinergic agonist
Abstract
To investigate synaptic mechanisms underlying information processing in auditory cortex, we examined cholinergic modulation of synaptic transmission in a novel slice preparation containing thalamocortical and intracortical inputs to mouse auditory cortex. Extracellular and intracellular recordings were made in cortical layer IV while alternately stimulating thalamocortical afferents (via medial geniculate or downstream subcortical stimulation) and intracortical afferents. Either subcortical or intracortical stimulation elicited a fast, 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX)-sensitive, monosynaptic EPSP followed by long-duration, polysynaptic activity. The cholinergic agonist carbachol suppressed each of the synaptic potentials to different degrees. At low concentrations (5 microM) carbachol strongly reduced (>60%) the polysynaptic slow potentials for both pathways but did not affect the monosynaptic fast potentials. At higher doses (10-50 microM), carbachol also reduced the fast potentials, but reduced the intracortically-elicited fast potential significantly more than the thalamocortically-elicited fast potential, which at times was actually enhanced. Atropine (0.5 microM) blocked the effects of carbachol, indicating muscarinic receptor involvement. We conclude that muscarinic modulation can strongly suppress intracortical synaptic activity while exerting less suppression, or actually enhancing, thalamocortical inputs. Such differential actions imply that auditory information processing may favor sensory information relayed through the thalamus over ongoing cortical activity during periods of increased acetylcholine (ACh) release.

In the citing paper
“Previous studies have shown that stimulation of nAChRs enhances the glutamatergic transmission at thalamocortical synapses (Gil et al., 1997; Gioanni et al., 1999; Hsieh et al., 2000), thereby enhancing the thalamic activation of subsets of cortical neurons.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
