EEG Correlation of the Discharge Properties of Identified Neurons
in the Basal Forebrain. J. Neurophysiol. 84: 1627-1635, 2000. The basal forebrain (BF) is a
heterogeneous structure located in the ventral aspect of the cerebral
hemispheres. It contains cholinergic as well as different types of
noncholinergic corticopetal neurons and interneurons, including
GABAergic and peptidergic cells. The BF constitutes an extrathalamic
route to the cortex, and its activity is associated with an increase in
cortical release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, concomitant
with electroencephalographic (EEG) low-voltage fast activity (LVFA).
However, the specific role of the different BF cell types has largely
remained unknown due to the lack of chemical identification of the
recorded neurons. Here we show that the firing rate of
immunocytochemically identified cholinergic and parvalbumin-containing
neurons increase during cortical LVFA. In contrast, increased
neuropeptide Y neuron firing is accompanied by cortical slow waves. Our
results, furthermore, indicate that BF neurons posses a distinct
temporal relationship to different EEG patterns and suggest a more
dynamic interplay within BF as well as between BF and cortical
circuitries than previously proposed.
