Role of a Striatal Slowly Inactivating Potassium Current in Short-Term Facilitation of Corticostriatal Inputs: A Computer Simulation Study

Abstract: Striatal output neurons (SONs) integrate glutamatergic synaptic inputs originating from the cerebral cortex. In vivo electrophysiological data have shown that a prior depolarization of SONs induced a short-term (Յ1 sec) increase in their membrane excitability, which facilitated the ability of corticostriatal synaptic potentials to induce firing. Here we propose, using a computational model of SONs, that the use-dependent, short-term increase in the responsiveness of SONs mainly results from the slow kinetics o… Show more

“…The effect of inward and outward rectifying potassium currents on both the synaptic input and the electrotonic properties of MSP dendrites with spines have been extensively studied (Wilson, 1992(Wilson, , 1995. Our results are in agreement with previous experimental and modeling results on the role of K IR and K A currents in determining up and down states (Wilson and Kawaguchi, 1996;Gruber et al, 2003) and the importance of the inactivation of K As in the ramp to first spike (Nisenbaum et al, 1994;Mahon et al, 2000).…”

“…Simulations were performed on an Apple Computers (Cupertino, CA) dual 2.5 GHz Power Macintosh G5 or in parallel on a 12-node cluster with dual 2.8 GHz processors per node (Penguin Computing, San Francisco, CA). The model presented here extends previous MSP models in several ways (Wilson, 1995;Mahon et al, 2000;Kitano et al, 2002;Gruber et al, 2003;Wood et al, 2004). Notably, this is the first MSP model to individually include all reported species of calcium and calcium-dependent potassium currents as well as recently updated parameters for several potassium currents.…”

“…We tested this by constructing another biophysical model based on ionic currents measured from medium spiny neurons in the striatum. These neurons have an extensive repertoire of potassium currents that have been well characterized (Mahon et al 2000;Nisenbaum and Wilson 1995;Wolf et al 2005) and exhibit two-state membrane potential fluctuations (O'Donnell and Grace 1995;Plenz and Aertsen 1996;Wilson 1993). We included the fast and slow A-like potassium currents (Nisenbaum and Wilson 1995), an inward rectifier current (Nisenbaum and Wilson 1995), an L-type calcium current (Churchill and Macvicar 1998), and a persistent sodium current in a three-compartment model of a medium spiny neuron (see supplementary information for details).…”

“…Parameters for slow A-type K channels ( I As ) were adapted from 23, 24 , for fast A-type K channels ( I Af ) from 25 , for inward rectifying K channels ( I Kir ) from 26 , and the resulting parameter tables were compared with 27 and 28 , see Table 2.…”
