Control of postsynaptic Ca2+ influx in developing neocortex by excitatory and inhibitory
neurotransmitters.

We assessed the pathways by which excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters elicit postsynaptic
changes in [Ca2+]i in brain slices of developing rat and cat neocortex, using fura 2. Glutamate, NMDA,
and quisqualate transiently elevated [Ca2%]i in all neurons. While the quisqualate response relied
exclusively on voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, almost all of the NMDA-induced Ca2+ influx was via the
NMDA ionophore itself, rather than through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Glutamate itself altered
[Ca2+]i almost exclusively via the NMDA receptor. Furthermore, synaptically induced Ca2+ entry relied
almost completely on NMDA receptor activation, even with low-frequency stimulation. The inhibitory
neurotransmitter GABA also increased [Ca2+]i, probably via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, whereas
the neuromodulator acetylcholine caused Ca2+ release from intracellular stores via a muscarinic
receptor. Low concentrations of these agonists produced nonperiodic [Ca2+]i oscillations, which were
temporally correlated in neighbouring cells. Optical recording with Ca2(+)-sensitive indicators may thus
permit the visualization of functional networks in developing cortical circuits.

Novel types of spontaneous network dynamics
Data:
• Reverberating activity is prevalent at all temporal scales
• Spatiotemporal patterns are real: statistics, two techniques,
spatial profile, UP states, they can be triggered
• Sparse dynamics: small number of cells
• Single neurons can participate in many patterns
• Repetitions never exact
• Thalamic stimulation triggers internal states
Speculation:
• Spatially organized ensembles: related to circuit features?
• Preferred states: attractors or metastable states?
• Precisely repeated dynamics: Abeles’ synfire chains?
• Cortex as a giant CPG?
