Membrane potential-dependent modulation of recurrent inhibition in rat neocortex.

Dynamic balance of excitation and inhibition is crucial for network stability and cortical processing, but it is unclear how this balance is achieved at different membrane potentials (V(m)) of cortical neurons, as found during persistent activity or slow V(m) oscillation. Here we report that a V(m)-...

description Dynamic balance of excitation and inhibition is crucial for network stability and cortical processing, but it is unclear how this balance is achieved at different membrane potentials (V(m)) of cortical neurons, as found during persistent activity or slow V(m) oscillation. Here we report that a V(m)-dependent modulation of recurrent inhibition between pyramidal cells (PCs) contributes to the excitation-inhibition balance. Whole-cell recording from paired layer-5 PCs in rat somatosensory cortical slices revealed that both the slow and the fast disynaptic IPSPs, presumably mediated by low-threshold spiking and fast spiking interneurons, respectively, were modulated by changes in presynaptic V(m).
