Interruption of supramammillohippocampal afferents prevents the genesis and spread of limbic seizures in the hippocampus via a disinhibition mechanism

Abstract

In this study we describe the preventive effect of interruption of the supramammillohippocampal afferents on the Fos expression in the forebrain and epileptic discharges in the hippocampal electroencephalogram in rat model of kainic acid-induced limbic seizure. Little was known about the contribution of different degrees of neural activity of hippocampal principal cells to the genesis and spread of limbic seizures in the forebrain structures. Following kainic acid injection to the amygdala with or without concurrent injection of muscimol to the supramammillary nucleus, behavioral changes and electroencephalograms were observed in freely moving rats. The animals were processed for Fos immunocytochemical analysis at several time points. The latest expression of Fos at 2h was seen in hippocampal CA1-CA3, ventrolateral thalamic nuclei and mediodorsal caudate putamen, while the early Fos expression at 0.5h was seen in the piriform, entorhinal and other cortices, the thalamic midline nuclei and hypothalamic nuclei. Muscimol injection to the supramammillary nucleus prevented Fos expression in the CA1-CA3 region and reduced that in the forebrain regions with the latest Fos expression, but did not affect Fos expression in other forebrain regions with early Fos expression. This treatment also eliminated epileptic discharges and attenuated all waves in hippocampus. These findings indicate that an acute interruption of the facilitatory hypothalamic afferents by intrasupramammillary injec…

  • CA2 neurons are the only hippocampal target of the supramammillary nucleus, a structure involved in controlling theta rhythm and spread of epileptic activity in the hippocampus.

    “Finally, CA2 neurons are the only hippocampal target of the supramammillary nucleus (which also targets the dentate gyrus), a structure involved in controlling the frequency of the theta rhythm (Pan and McNaughton, 2002) and the spread of epileptic activity (Saji et al., 2000) in the hippocampus.”

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.
