چکیده

Action potential (ap) generation in inhibitory interneurons is critical for cortical excitation-inhibition balance and information processing. however,it remains unclear what determines ap initiation in different interneurons. we focused on two predominant interneuron types in neocortex: parvalbumin (pv)- and somatostatin (sst)-expressing neurons. patch-clamp recording from mouse prefrontal cortical slices showed that axonal but not somatic na+ channels exhibit different voltage-dependent properties. the minimal activation voltage of axonal channels in sst was substantially higher (∼7 mv) than in pv cells,consistent with differences in ap thresholds. a more mixed distribution of high- and low-threshold channel subtypes at the axon initial segment (ais) of sst cells may lead to these differences. surprisingly,nav1.2 was found accumulated at ais of sst but not pv cells; reducing nav1.2-mediated currents in interneurons promoted recurrent network activity. together,our results reveal the molecular identity of axonal na+ channels in interneurons and their contribution to ap generation and regulation of network activity. © 2014 li et al.
