Mientras que las grabaciones electrofisiológicas de cortes de hipocampo agudo constituyen una técnica in vitro estándar, los métodos aquí presentados difieren sustancialmente del enfoque clásico. A diferencia de las preparaciones de rebanadas finas donde las capas celulares específicas son visibles en la superficie y pueden ser examinadas directamente, las preparaciones intactas del hipocampo se asemejan más a configuraciones in vivo en las que los electrodos se bajan en regiones cerebrales dir...

Las oscilaciones de la teta del hipocampo (4 - 12 Hz) están entre las formas más predominantes de actividad rítmica en el cerebro de los mamíferos y se cree que desempeñan papeles clave en funciones cognitivas como el procesamiento de la información espaciotemporal y la formación de memorias episódicas 1 , 2 , 3 . Mientras que varios estudios in vivo que ponen de relieve la relación de la teta modulada lugar de las células con la navegación espacial y la lesión estudios, así como la evidencia clínica, apoyan la opinión de que el hipocampo theta oscilaciones están involucrados en la memoria formación 4 , 5 , 6 , los mecanismos asociados Con la generación de oscilaciones de la teta del hipocampo todavía no se entienden completamente. Las investigaciones tempranas in vivo sugirieron que la actividad de theta dependía principalmente de osciladores extrínsecos, en particular de entrada rítmicaDe estructuras cerebrales aferentes como el septo y la corteza entorrinal 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 . Un papel para los factores intrínsecos - conectividad interna de las redes neuronales del hipocampo junto con las propiedades de las neuronas del hipocampo - también se postuló sobre la base de observaciones in vitro 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 . Sin embargo, aparte de unos cuantos estudios históricos 19 , 20 , 21 , las dificultades en el desarrollo de enfoques que podrían reproducir las actividades fisiológicamente realistas de la población en la preparación de la rebanada in vitro simpleS han retrasado durante mucho tiempo un examen experimental más detallado de las capacidades intrínsecas del hipocampo y áreas relacionadas para autogenerar oscilaciones teta. Un inconveniente importante de la norma in vitro de corte fino de ajuste experimental es que la organización celular 3D y sináptica de las estructuras cerebrales se ve generalmente comprometida. Esto significa que no se pueden apoyar muchas formas de actividades de redes concertadas basadas en conjuntos de células distribuidas espacialmente, que van desde grupos localizados (≤1 mm de radio) hasta poblaciones de neuronas diseminadas a través de una o más áreas cerebrales (&gt; 1 mm). Teniendo en cuenta estas consideraciones, un tipo diferente de enfoque fue necesario para estudiar cómo teta oscilaciones emergen en el hipocampo y propagar a corticales relacionados y subcortical las estructuras de salida. En los últimos años, el desarrollo inicial de la &quot;completa septo-hipocampo&quot; preparación para examinar intera bidireccionalCiones de las dos estructuras 22 y la consiguiente evolución de la preparación del &quot;hipocampo aislado&quot;, han revelado que las oscilaciones intrínsecas de la teta ocurren espontáneamente en el hipocampo sin entrada rítmica externa 23 . El valor de estos enfoques reside en la idea inicial de que toda la estructura funcional de estas regiones tenía que ser conservado con el fin de funcionar como un generador de ritmos theta in vitro [ 22] .

tuning in the hippocampal theta band in vitro: methodologies for recording from the isolated rodent septohippocampal circuit

Este protocolo describe los procedimientos para la preparación y registro del hipocampo entero aislado, de WT y ratones transgénicos, junto con mejoras recientes en metodologías y aplicaciones para el estudio de las oscilaciones de theta. Se presenta una caracterización simple de la preparación aislada del hipocampo mediante la cual se examina la relación entre los osciladores internos de la teta del hipocampo junto con la actividad de las células piramidales y las interneuronas GABAérgicas de las áreas cornu ammonis-1 (CA1) y subiculum (SUB). En general, se demuestra que el hipocampo aislado es capaz de generar oscilaciones intrínsecas de theta in vitro y que la ritmicidad generada dentro del hipocampo puede manipularse con precisión mediante la estimulación optogenética de interneuronas positivas a parvalbúmina (PV). La preparación hippocampal aislada in vitro ofrece una oportunidad única de usar grabaciones simultáneas en campo y intracelular de patch-clamp de neu visualmente identificadoPara comprender mejor los mecanismos subyacentes a la generación del ritmo theta.

Automatic Detection of Highly Organized Theta Oscillations in the Murine EEG

Theta activity is generated in the septohippocampal system and can be recorded using deep intrahippocampal electrodes and implantable electroencephalography (EEG) radiotelemetry or tether system approaches. Pharmacologically, hippocampal theta is heterogeneous (see dualistic theory) and can be differentiated into type I and type II theta. These individual EEG subtypes are related to specific cognitive and behavioral states, such as arousal, exploration, learning and memory, higher integrative functions, etc. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer&#39;s, structural and functional alterations of the septohippocampal system can result in impaired theta activity/oscillations. A standard quantitative analysis of the hippocampal EEG includes a Fast-Fourier-Transformation (FFT)-based frequency analysis. However, this procedure does not provide details about theta activity in general and highly-organized theta oscillations in particular. In order to obtain detailed information on highly-organized theta oscillations in the hippocampus, we have developed a new analytical approach. This approach allows for time- and cost-effective quantification of the duration of highly-organized theta oscillations and their frequency characteristics.

Theta activity in the hippocampus is related to specific cognitive and behavioral stages. Here, we describe an analytical method to detect highly-organized theta oscillations within the hippocampus using a time-frequency (i.e., wavelet analysis)-based approach.

Large-scale Recording of Neurons by Movable Silicon Probes in Behaving Rodents

A major challenge in neuroscience is linking behavior to the collective activity of neural assemblies. Understanding of input-output relationships of neurons and circuits requires methods with the spatial selectivity and temporal resolution appropriate for mechanistic analysis of neural ensembles in the behaving animal, i.e. recording of representatively large samples of isolated single neurons. Ensemble monitoring of neuronal activity has progressed remarkably in the past decade in both small and large-brained animals, including human subjects1-11. Multiple-site recording with silicon-based devices are particularly effective because of their scalability, small volume and geometric design.
Here, we describe methods for recording multiple single neurons and local field potential in behaving rodents, using commercially available micro-machined silicon probes with custom-made accessory components. There are two basic options for interfacing silicon probes to preamplifiers: printed circuit boards and flexible cables. Probe supplying companies (<a href="http://www.neuronexustech.com/" >http://www.neuronexustech.com/</a>; <a href="http://www.sbmicrosystems.com/">http://www.sbmicrosystems.com/</a>; <a href="http://www.acreo.se/">http://www.acreo.se/</a>) usually provide the bonding service and deliver probes bonded to printed circuit boards or flexible cables. Here, we describe the implantation of a 4-shank, 32-site probe attached to flexible polyimide cable, and mounted on a movable microdrive. Each step of the probe preparation, microdrive construction and surgery is illustrated so that the end user can easily replicate the process.

We describe methods for large-scale recording of multiple single units and local field potential in behaving rodents with silicon probes. Drive fabrication, probe attachment to the drive and probe implantation processes are illustrated in sufficient details for easy replication.

Whole-cell Patch-clamp Recordings from Morphologically- and Neurochemically-identified Hippocampal Interneurons

GABAergic inhibitory interneurons play a central role within neuronal circuits of the brain. Interneurons comprise a small subset of the neuronal population (10-20%), but show a high level of physiological, morphological, and neurochemical heterogeneity, reflecting their diverse functions. Therefore, investigation of interneurons provides important insights into the organization principles and function of neuronal circuits. This, however, requires an integrated physiological and neuroanatomical approach for the selection and identification of individual interneuron types. Whole-cell patch-clamp recording from acute brain slices of transgenic animals, expressing fluorescent proteins under the promoters of interneuron-specific markers, provides an efficient method to target and electrophysiologically characterize intrinsic and synaptic properties of specific interneuron types. Combined with intracellular dye labeling, this approach can be extended with post-hoc morphological and immunocytochemical analysis, enabling systematic identification of recorded neurons. These methods can be tailored to suit a broad range of scientific questions regarding functional properties of diverse types of cortical neurons.

Cortical networks are controlled by a small, but diverse set of inhibitory interneurons. Functional investigation of interneurons therefore requires targeted recording and rigorous identification. Described here is a combined approach involving whole-cell recordings from single or synaptically-coupled pairs of neurons with intracellular labeling, post-hoc morphological and immunocytochemical analysis.

Optogenetic Entrainment of Hippocampal Theta Oscillations in Behaving Mice

Extensive data on relationships of neural network oscillations to behavior and organization of neuronal discharge across brain regions call for new tools to selectively manipulate brain rhythms. Here we describe an approach combining projection-specific optogenetics with extracellular electrophysiology for high-fidelity control of hippocampal theta oscillations (5-10 Hz) in behaving mice. The specificity of the optogenetic entrainment is achieved by targeting channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) to the GABAergic population of medial septal cells, crucially involved in the generation of hippocampal theta oscillations, and a local synchronized activation of a subset of inhibitory septal afferents in the hippocampus. The efficacy of the optogenetic rhythm control is verified by a simultaneous monitoring of the local field potential (LFP) across lamina of the CA1 area and/or of neuronal discharge. Using this readily implementable preparation we show efficacy of various optogenetic stimulation protocols for induction of theta oscillations and for the manipulation of their frequency and regularity. Finally, a combination of the theta rhythm control with projection-specific inhibition addresses the readout of particular aspects of the hippocampal synchronization by efferent regions.

Recording and Modulation of Epileptiform Activity in Rodent Brain Slices Coupled to Microelectrode Arrays

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common partial complex epileptic syndrome and the least responsive to medications. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising approach when pharmacological treatment fails or neurosurgery is not recommended. Acute brain slices coupled to microelectrode arrays (MEAs) represent a valuable tool to study neuronal network interactions and their modulation by electrical stimulation. As compared to conventional extracellular recording techniques, they provide the added advantages of a greater number of observation points and a known inter-electrode distance, which allow studying the propagation path and speed of electrophysiological signals. However, tissue oxygenation may be greatly impaired during MEA recording, requiring a high perfusion rate, which comes at the cost of decreased signal-to-noise ratio and higher oscillations in the experimental temperature. Electrical stimulation further stresses the brain tissue, making it difficult to pursue prolonged recording/stimulation epochs. Moreover, electrical modulation of brain slice activity needs to target specific structures/pathways within the brain slice, requiring that electrode mapping be easily and quickly performed live during the experiment. Here, we illustrate how to perform the recording and electrical modulation of 4-aminopyridine (4AP)-induced epileptiform activity in rodent brain slices using planar MEAs. We show that the brain tissue obtained from mice outperforms rat brain tissue and is thus better suited for MEA experiments. This protocol guarantees the generation and maintenance of a stable epileptiform pattern that faithfully reproduces the electrophysiological features observed with conventional field potential recording, persists for several hours, and outlasts sustained electrical stimulation for prolonged epochs. Tissue viability throughout the experiment is achieved thanks to the use of a small-volume custom recording chamber allowing for laminar flow and quick solution exchange even at low (1 mL/min) perfusion rates. Quick MEA mapping for real-time monitoring and selection of stimulating electrodes is performed by a custom graphic user interface (GUI).

Recording Spatially Restricted Oscillations in the Hippocampus of Behaving Mice

The local field potential (LFP) emerges from ion movements across neural membranes. Since the voltage recorded by LFP electrodes reflects the summed electrical field of a large volume of brain tissue, extracting information about local activity is challenging. Studying neuronal microcircuits, however, requires a reliable distinction between truly local events and volume-conducted signals originating in distant brain areas. Current source density (CSD) analysis offers a solution for this problem by providing information about current sinks and sources in the vicinity of the electrodes. In brain areas with laminar cytoarchitecture such as the hippocampus, one-dimensional CSD can be obtained by estimating the second spatial derivative of the LFP. Here, we describe a method to record multilaminar LFPs using linear silicon probes implanted into the dorsal hippocampus. CSD traces are computed along individual shanks of the probe. This protocol thus describes a procedure to resolve spatially restricted neuronal network oscillations in the hippocampus of freely moving mice.

This protocol describes the recording of local field potentials with multi-shank linear silicon probes. Conversion of the signals using current source density analysis allows the reconstruction of local electrical activity in the mouse hippocampus. With this technique, spatially restricted brain oscillations can be studied in freely moving mice.
