DG adult-born granule cell: nonlinear a5-GABAARs control AP firing (Lodge et al, 2021)
Jan Michael Schulz
GABA can depolarize immature neurons close to the action potential (AP) threshold in development and adult neurogenesis. Nevertheless, GABAergic synapses effectively inhibit AP firing in newborn granule cells of the adult hippocampus as early as 2 weeks post mitosis. Parvalbumin and dendrite-targeting somatostatin interneurons activate a5-subunit containing GABAA receptors (a5-GABAARs) in young neurons, which show a voltage dependent conductance profile with increasing conductance around the AP threshold. The present computational models show that the depolarized GABA reversal potential promotes NMDA receptor activation. However, the voltage-dependent conductance of a5-GABAARs in young neurons is crucial for inhibition of AP firing to generate balanced and sparse firing activity.
