Caffeine Increases Hippocampal Sharp Waves <i>in Vitro</i>

Abstract: Caffeine promotes memory consolidation. Memory consolidation is thought to depend at least in part on hippocampal sharp waves (SWs). In the present study, we investigated the effect of bath-application of caffeine in spontaneously occurring SWs in mouse acute hippocampal slices. Caffeine induced an about 100% increase in the event frequency of SWs at concentrations of 60 and 200 µM. The effect of caffeine was reversible after washout of caffeine and was mimicked by an adenosine A 1 receptor antagonist, but not… Show more

“…Besides an impact on brain lesions (see below), improved cognition we observed might primarily relate to the ability of caffeine to act on synaptic plasticity. Indeed, in rodents, caffeine treatment on hippocampal slices enhances basal synaptic transmission, long-term potentiation (LTP) and sharp wave–ripple complexes, which underlie memory consolidation [4750]. Caffeine also controls neuronal excitability and LTP-like effects in the human cortex [51,52].…”

“…It is possible that low-frequency components, which are difficult to express in 37 ms, may not be treated by our CNN. In fact, ripples (150-250 Hz) often overlap with sharp waves (5-50 Hz;O'Keefe, 1976;Buzsaki, 2015;Watanabe, 2017) and gamma waves (25-75 Hz;Ramirez-Villegas et al, 2015).…”
