When nne f the in channels were blcked, INa,P was nt usually detectable, prbably because cmpeting K current masked it, but after raising [K ] INa,P appeared, while K currents diminished. With K channels blcked, INa,P culd usually be evked in cntrl slutin and raising [K ] caused its reversible increase in mst cells. The 2 increase did nt depend n external calcium [Ca ].

T answer this questin, whle-cell recrdings were made frm pyramidal cells in CA regin f rat hippcampal tissue slices. The slices were maintained in an interface tissue slice chamber perfused with bicarbnate-buffered artificial cerebrspinal fluid (ACSF) at 368C.

The pipettes were filled with K-glucnate-based slutin and n in channel blcking drugs were used, except at the end f sme trials when mm TTX was added t the bath t verify the Na dependence f the inward currents. The vltage f cells in situ cannt perfectly be cntrlled by the whle-cell patch clamp methd, because the membrane ptential f the axn and f the dendritic tree cannt be cntrlled by feedback applied t the cell bdy. Nnetheless, with this technique changes in the relative magnitude f the vltage-induced currents can reliably be assessed.

8 G.G. Smjen, M. Muller / Brain Research 885 (2000) During epileptifrm ictal events [K ] rises in hippcam- pal frmatin and necrtex t 8 2 mm, and during spreading depressin (SD) several times higher [2,23,4]. It is likely that during seizures, hypxia and SD the enhancement f the persistent inward currents is even mre marked than it was in these trials. Elevatin f [K ] caused less f an increase in INa,P than did intracellular flurescence f islated neurns [37,38], but the effect f high [K ] was cmparable t that seen in similar islated hippcampal neurns deprived f xygen, as reprted by Hammarstrm and Gage [9]. In intact brains, as als in brain tissue slices, hypxia causes [K ] t increase, and this increase begins sn after withdrawal f xygen [20,35]. Simultaneus decrease f xygen tensin and increase f [K ] prbably reinfrce each ther s effect n I Na,P. It may be, that elevated [K ], hypxia, and intracellular flurescence mdulate the persistent sdium current thrugh a cmmn intermediate step r steps. Regardless f mechanism, enhancement f persistent inward current prbably plays an imprtant part in the generatin f tnic seizures, SD, and SD-like hypxic deplarizatin. In cmputer-based simulatin either INa,P r an NMDA receptr-cntrlled current culd generate SDlike deplarizatin. When bth currents were available, as they are in live brains, the threshld was lwer and the nset faster [29]. Fig. 6. I V curves averaged frm fur cells, demnstrating TTX sensitivity f persistent inward current. (A) I V curves f the persistent cmpnent f currents.
