HPNS is characterized by motor and cognitive impairments. The neocortex and the hippocampus are presumably involved in this last disorder. The medial perforant path (MPP) synapse onto the granule cells of the dentate gyrus is the main connection between these structures. We have studied high-pressure (HP) effects on single and frequency response of this synapse. Since effects of HP on various synapses were mimicked by reducing [Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>]<jats:sub>o<\/jats:sub>, results under these conditions were compared. Medial perforant path-evoked field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) were recorded from granule cells in rat brain slices. Slices were exposed to high pressure of helium (0.1\u201310.1 MPa) at 30\u00b0C. HP depressed single fEPSPs by 35 and 55% at 5.1 and 10.1 MPa, respectively, and increased paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) at 10- to 40-ms inter-stimulus intervals. Frequency-dependent depression (FDD) was enhanced by HP during trains of stimuli at 50 but not at 25 Hz. Depression of single fEPSPs by reduction of [Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>]<jats:sub>o<\/jats:sub> from 2 mM control to 1 mM at normal pressure was equivalent to the effect of 10.1 MPa at control [Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>]<jats:sub>o<\/jats:sub>. However, this low [Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>]<jats:sub>o<\/jats:sub> induced greater enhancement of PPF, and in contrast, turned FDD at 25\u201350 Hz into frequency-dependent potentiation. These results suggest that HP depresses single synaptic release by reducing Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup> entry, whereas slowing of synaptic frequency response is independent of Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>. These findings increase our understanding of HPNS experienced by deep divers. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00894.2002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,31]],"date-time":"2006-05-31T06:01:10Z","timestamp":1149055270000},"page":"2106-2114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Modulation of Rat Corticohippocampal Synaptic Activity by High Pressure and Extracellular Calcium: Single and Frequency Responses"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Adolfo E.","family":"Talpalar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Health Sciences and Zlotowski Center for Neuroscience, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva 84105, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoram","family":"Grossman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Health Sciences and Zlotowski Center for Neuroscience, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva 84105, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"REF1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004240050346"},{"key":"REF2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0074-7742(08)60111-7"},{"key":"REF3","unstructured":"Bennett PB and Rostain JC.
