Selective Manipulation of Theta Oscillations in a Mouse Model

-- views • 1:18 min

내레이션 대본

Take a genetically engineered mouse with a surgically implanted optical fiber and recording electrode array assembly in the hippocampus.

The mouse medial septum contains light-sensitive ion channel-expressing GABAergic neurons, which project to interneurons in the hippocampus.

Connect a preamplifier to the implanted array connector to enhance recorded electrical signals.

Connect the patch cord to the implanted optical fiber for light delivery.

Record baseline neural activity without light stimulation.

Deliver light pulses of the desired frequency to the hippocampus, which activates the GABAergic neurons' light-sensitive ion channels, causing positive ion influx and triggering action potentials.

This neuronal excitation causes the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters onto hippocampal interneurons, inhibiting them.

The rhythmic inhibition of interneurons by light stimulation balances excitatory and inhibitory inputs, synchronizing the firing of pyramidal neurons and producing rhythmic neural activity in the hippocampus, known as theta oscillations.
