1. The effects of serotonin (5HT) on neocortical pyramidal neurons were studied using whole cell and ON-cell patch-clamp recordings from acutely dissociated neurons. 2. 5HT decreased high voltage-activated calcium channel currents in a dose-dependent and reversible manner in acutely dissociated neocortical pyramidal neurons. The maximum block was 30% of the peak whole cell current (at -10 mV). 3. The 5HT modulation was mimicked by 5HT1A agonists and was reduced by 5HT1A antagonists. 5HT2 antagonists had no effect on the modulation. These data suggest that the 5HT effects were mediated by 5HT1A receptors. 4. The 5HT1A modulation was reduced in the presence of the specific N-type blocker omega-conotoxin GVIA (CgTx) and by the P-type channel blocker omega-agatoxin IVA (AgTx), but not by the L-type blocker nifedipine. 5HT did not modulate the slowed tail currents in the presence of the dihydropyridine agonist Bay K 8644. These data suggest that N- and P-type channels (but not L-type channels) were targeted by 5HT. 5. The modulation involved G proteins and utilized a membrane-delimited pathway. The modulation was rapid in onset (tau approximately 600 ms) and offset. About 50% of the reduction in current by 5HT1A agonists was overcome by prepulses to 120 mV. 6. Slowing of current onset kinetics in response to 5HT1A agonists was seen rarely in neocortical pyramidal neurons (11% of cases). The presence of slowing depended on agonist concentration, being evident only with high micromolar doses.
