Subthreshold oscillations of the membrane potential: a functional synchronizing and timing device

I. Lampl and Y. Yarom
Department of Neurobiology, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.

1. Subthreshold membrane potential oscillations have been observed in different types of CNS neurons. In this in vitro study, we examined the possible role of these oscillations by analyzing the responses of neurons from the inferior olivary nucleus to a combined stimulation of sine wave and synaptic potentials. 2. A nonlinear summation of the sine wave and the synaptic potential occurred in olivary neurons; a superlinear summation occurred when the synaptic potential was elicited at the trough of the sine wave or during the rising phase. On the other hand, a less than linear summation occurred when the synaptic potentials were evoked during the falling phase of the wave. 3. Significant changes in the delay of the synaptic responses were observed. As a result of these changes, the maximum amplitude of the response occurred at the peak of the sine wave, regardless of the exact time of stimulation. The output of the neuron was therefore synchronized with the sine wave and depended only partly on the input phase. 4. These data demonstrate that neurons from the inferior olivary nucleus are capable of operating as accurate synchronizing devices. Moreover, by affecting the delay line, they act as a logic gate that ensures that the information will be added to the system only at given times.
