Axonal sprouting in layer V pyramidal neurons of chronically injured cerebral cortex

Abstract: We performed experiments to determine whether axonal sprouting occurs in neurons of chronic neocortical epileptogenic lesions. Partially isolated somatosensory cortical islands with intact pial blood supply were prepared in mature rats. Neocortical slices from these lesions, studied 6-39 d later, generated spontaneous and/or evoked epileptiform field potentials (Prince and Tseng, 1993) during which neurons displayed prolonged polyphasic excitatory and inhibitory synaptic potentials/currents. Single electrophys… Show more

“…The brain restores its activity after injury by extensive reorganization of cortical connectivity, such as axonal sprouting with formation of new synapses (Purpura and Housepian, 1961;Sutula et al, 1989;Salin et al, 1995;Dancause et al, 2005); by selective loss of inhibitory synapses (Ribak and Reiffenstein, 1982); or by increased synaptic and intrinsic neuronal responsiveness (Bush et al, 1999).…”

“…Neuronal injuries after cortical trauma, stroke, and prolonged seizures result in axonal sprouting in the hippocampus and neocortex (Tauck and Nadler, 1985;Salin et al, 1995;Perez et al, 1996;Sutula et al, 1998;Esclapez et al, 1999;Golarai et al, 2001;Santhakumar et al, 2001;Buckmaster et al, 2002;Marchenko et al, 2004). This process may underlie the capacity of neuronal circuits to recover from damage (Stroemer et al, 1998;Carmichael et al, 2001;Carmichael, 2003;Lee et al, 2004); however, formation of new excitatory circuitry may also contribute to pathophysiological processes such as epileptogenesis (Purpura and Housepian, 1961;Sutula et al, 1992;Dudek and Spitz, 1997;McKinney et al, 1997;Prince et al, 1997;Prince, 1999).…”

“…Synaptic reorganization is another potential mechanism of hyperexcitability of layer II stellate cells. Many types of neurons display aberrant axon sprouting and synaptogenesis in epilepsy models (Nadler et al, 1980;Salin et al, 1995;Perez et al, 1996;McKinney et al, 1997), raising the possibility of recurrent excitatory synapses in the entorhinal cortex in patients and models of temporal lobe epilepsy. Analogous to loss of hilar neurons and sprouting of granule cell axons in the dentate gyrus (Nadler et al, 1980), loss of layer III neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex, which normally projects axons superficially (Köhler, 1986) and synapses with dendritic spines (Germroth et al, 1991), might trigger or permit development of aberrant recurrent excitatory synapses among layer II stellate cells.…”
