Stress due to mother and infant isolation enhances excitability of pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 of infantile rats
Objective To study the effect of stress due to mother and infant isolation on spontaneous discharge of pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 and expression of hippocampal GABA
A
receptor α
1
in infantile rats
and its correlation with susceptibility to epilepsy. Methods Infantile rats were randomly divided into normal group
15-min isolation group
and 3-h isolation group. Sixteen days after birth
convulsion was induced in rats with lithium chloridepilocapine. Characteristics of spontaneous discharge of pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 were detected with wholecell patch clamps. Expression of hippocampal GABA
A
receptor α
1
in perfused brain tissue was detected with immunohistochemistry. Results The body weight was significantly lower
the susceptibility to convulsion and the excitability of pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 were higher
and the expression level of hippocampal GABA
A
receptor α
1
in brain tissue was lower in 3-h isolation group than in normal group. However
no significant difference was found in the above parameters between 15-min isolation group and normal group. Conclusion Stress due to 3-h mother and infant isolation may produce adverse effects on the growth and development
and susceptibility to epilepsy of infantile rats. Increased excitability of pyramidal neurons in hippocampal CA1 and decreased expression of hippocampal GABA
A
receptor α
1
in brain tissue may be one of the potential mechanisms.
