Activation of 5‐HT receptors inhibits GABAergic transmission by pre‐and post‐synaptic mechanisms in layer II/III of the juvenile rat auditory cortex

Abstract: The specific mechanisms by which serotonin (5-HT) modulates synaptic transmission in the auditory cortex are still unknown. In this work, we used whole-cell recordings from layer II/III of pyramidal neurons in rat brain slices to characterize the influence of 5-HT on inhibitory synaptic activity in the auditory cortex after pharmacological blockade of excitatory glutamatergic transmission. We found that bath application of 5-HT (5 µM) reduced the frequency and amplitude of both spontaneous and miniature inhibi… Show more

“…Serotonin receptor 2A (5-HT 2A ) belongs to the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family and is broadly distributed within the brain, showing high expression in the olfactory tubercle, cortical areas, and dentate gyrus [ 13 , 14 ]. Functionally, 5-HT 2A is involved in neurogenesis and can modulate synaptic plasticity via long-lasting increases in the excitability and firing rate of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons [ 15 , 16 ]. The 5-HT 2A receptor is implicated in numerous CNS disorders, including bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia [ 17 , 18 ].…”

“…Animal studies have shown that 5-HT decreases GABAergic neurotransmission pre-and postsynaptically in the primary auditory cortex via 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 2A receptors, respectively, and decreases firing rate, input resistance and firing rate adaptation of pyramidal cells in juvenile rats. 13,14 Although SSRI treatment has been associated with plasticity in the primary visual cortex, 15 this association has not been observed in the primary auditory cortex. 16 Tryptophan depletion studies in humans suggest that 5-HT affects early, attention-related processing of auditory stimulus information.…”

“…In normal physiological situations, neuromodulatory systems can exert a global impact on the excitatory and inhibitory network at a time scale of minutes. Neuromodulators target both pyramidal cells and inhibitory interneurons (acetylcholine: Metherate et al 1992;Alitto & Dan, 2012;noradrenaline: Toussay et al 2013;Salgado et al 2016;serotonin: Aznar et al 2003;Santana et al 2004;De Almeida & Mengod, 2007;García-Oscos et al 2015), often with opposite effects on neuronal activity depending on the type of receptor activated. In addition, different neuromodulatory systems interact with each other (Esteban et al 1996;Villégier et al 2003) leading to difficulties in predicting the net effect of a particular neuromodulator action on cortical activity (reviewed by Edeline, 2012).…”
