  • Title: [Frequency modulation of theta bursts of the septal neurons in the removal of ascending afferent effects in rabbits].
    Author: Brazhnik ES, Vinogradova OS.
    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 1988; 38(2):323-32. PubMed ID: 3400329.
    Abstract:
    Medial septal-diagonal band (MS-DB) units were examined extracellularly in chronic rabbits under two experimental conditions: 1) in an intact septum, under anaesthetic doses of pentobarbital (40 mg/kg, i.v.); 2) in a basally undercut septum of unanaesthetized rabbits. The background rhythmic burst activity was undistinguishable in both states. Low-frequency electric stimulation of afferent inputs (MFB, CA1, LS) led to entrainment of the theta-cycles. The upper limit of following was almost normal in the undercut septum, but was strongly reduced under pentobarbital. In units with the driving "by pause", the duration of the initial silent period under pentobarbital was increased almost twofold but in the basally undercut septum it was the same as in the normal state. Some MS-DB units with weak or absent theta-modulation reacted to stimulation by stimulus-locked single spike discharges which followed up to high frequencies in both conditions.
