Abstract

The hyperpolarization-activated cation current ( I h ) plays an important role in determining membrane potential and firing characteristics of neurons and therefore is a potential target for regulation of intrinsic excitability. Here we show that an increase in AMPA-receptor-dependent synaptic activity induced by α-latrotoxin or glutamate application as well as direct depolarization results in an increase in I h recorded from cell-attached patches in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. This mechanism requires Ca 2+ influx but not increased levels of cAMP. Artificially increasing I h by using a dynamic clamp during whole-cell current clamp recordings results in reduced firing rates in response to depolarizing current injections. We conclude that modulation of somatic I h represents a previously uncharacterized mechanism of homeostatic plasticity, allowing a neuron to control its excitability in response to changes in synaptic activity on a relatively short-term time scale.

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.
