TRANSCRIPT
Homeostasis and Epilepsy
• Neurons are in constant state of flux
• There is no single solution of ion channel densities to achieve a particular behavior
• There are many changes in response to an event like a seizure:– Changes in ion channel densities– Changes in neuronal dynamics– Changes in network coupling
Ih modulation following a Seizure:two models, two different results
• Shah and Johnston– Kanic acid injection.– EC Layer III Pyramidal
Neurons– Decreased Ih density
in dendrites– Hypothesis:
Decreasing Ih increases synaptic efficacy and increases excitability of the cells.
• Chen and Soltesz– Febrile seizures– CA1 Pyramidal Cells– Increase in Ih current– Hypothesis: Increasing
Ih causes rebound excitation following inhibition.

Network Hypothesis
• Raising Ih or lowering Ih may depend on whether activity is caused by feedforward or feedback network activity
↑ Activity
↓ Ih
↑ Activity
↑ Ih
Homeostatic effects of changing Ih
• Increasing Ih ↓ synaptic efficacy
• ↓ in efficacy early in spiking phase• Phase dependent ↓ makes network ↑ synchrony• In Hippocampus:
– ↑ Ih ↓ activity because it is a feedforward network (CA3→CA1) and dampens network input.
• In Entorhinal cortex:– ↑ Ih ↑ activity because it is a feedback network by
synchronizing the excitatory cells
Question:
Homeostatic mechanisms work at the level of the individual neuron.
Is epilepsy be caused by discrepancies between homeostatic mechanisms at the cellular and their actions at a network scale?
