| Abstract | The origin of rhythm generation in mammalian spinal cord networks is still poorly understood. We have previously proposed that disinhibition-induced rhythms are based on intrinsic firing, recurrent excitation and several mechanisms to de-activate the network. In order to clarify these mechanisms we here investigated spontaneous spike discharge oscillations in rat spinal cord slice cultures using multi-electrode arrays and patch clamp. Episodes of such oscillations at 8.5 Hz spontaneously appeared in the ventral parts of the cultured slices. The rising phase of their initial cycles was entirely based on AMPA/kainate receptor-dependent recurrent excitation. Initial oscillations were changed into persistent activity by bicuculline and other blockers of GABA A, but not by blockers of glycine receptors, suggesting a role for GABAergic synaptic inhibition in network de-activation during oscillation cycles. Blockade of glycine receptors by strychnine caused a prolongation of oscillations and their spreading in the slice, suggesting that these receptors are mainly involved in the spatial and temporal restriction of oscillations. In most cultures, oscillations reappeared under disinhibition after an initial phase of persistent activity. Both spontaneous and disinhibition-induced oscillations were facilitated by riluzole, which enhances fast sodium current inactivation and thus leads to early cessation of firing during strong depolarization (depolarization block). In single cell recordings, episodes of strong depolarization were mostly seen during oscillations induced by disinhibition, but occasionally also during spontaneous oscillations. We conclude that both GABA A-mediated synaptic inhibition and depolarization block contribute to the de-activation of spinal cord networks during oscillation cycles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
