Origin and classification of spontaneous discharges in mouse superficial dorsal horn neurons

Abstract: Superficial laminae of the spinal cord possess a considerable number of neurons with spontaneous activity as reported in vivo and in vitro preparations of several species. Such neurons may play a role in the development of the nociceptive system and/or in the spinal coding of somatosensory signals. We have used electrophysiological techniques in a horizontal spinal cord slice preparation from adult mice to investigate how this activity is generated and what are the main patterns of activity that can be found. … Show more

“…Analysis were run with all afferents and we selected as target the afferent that produced better metrics. Neurons had a mean firing frequency of 0.9 ± 0.35 Hz (range 0.03–3.88 Hz) and their firing patterns were classed as irregular simple (10 units), irregular fast burst (2), and regular simple (1) following criteria previously reported ( Lucas-Romero et al, 2018 ). The afferent had an irregular firing pattern with a mean firing frequency of 0.09 Hz.…”

“…Experimental data were obtained from an in vitro experiment using a neonate mice spinal cord slice obtained as previously described ( Lucas-Romero et al, 2018 ). Briefly, the lumbar segments of the spinal cord were dissected from anesthetized animals (urethane 2 g/Kg i.p.)…”

“…Spontaneous activity of superficial dorsal horn neurons has been reported in several in vivo preparations (Hentall, 1977;Kumazawa and Perl, 1978;Sandkühler and Eblen-Zajjur, 1994) as well as in vitro preparations (Li and Baccei, 2011;Lucas-Romero et al, 2018;Roza et al, 2016).…”

“…For recordings of deep dorsal horn neurones, extracellular signals were preamplified Â10 (MPA81; Multichannel Systems, Reutlingen, Germany) and were further amplified Â500 with an 8-channel amplifier (Cyberamp; Molecular Devices) (Roza et al, 2016). In recordings from superficial dorsal horn neurones, the electrode was connected to a RHS2000 32-channel headstage containing two RHS2116 amplifier chips (Intan Technologies, Los Angeles, CA) (Lucas-Romero et al, 2018). The signals were band-pass filtered between 200-300 Hz and 3 kHz, digitized at 20 kHz (1401 Plus; CED), and stored for analysis.…”
