Abstract
Basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic system is important for attention and modulates sensory processing. We focused on the hindpaw representation in rat primary somatosensory cortex (S1), which receives inputs related to mechanoreceptors identical to those in human glabrous skin. Spike data were recorded from S1 tactile neurons (n = 87) with (ON condition: 0.5-ms bipolar current pulses at 100 Hz; amplitude 50 μA, duration 0.5 s at each trial) and without (OFF condition) electrical stimulation of BF in anesthetized rats. We expected that prior activation of BF would induce changes in the vibrotactile responses of neurons during sinusoidal (5, 40, and 250 Hz) mechanical stimulation of the glabrous skin. The experiment consisted of sequential OFF–ON conditions in two-time blocks separated by 30 min to test possible remaining effects. Average firing rates (AFRs) and vector strengths of spike phases (VS) were analyzed for different neuron types [regular spiking (RS) and fast spiking (FS)] in different cortical layers (III–VI). Immediate effect of BF activation was only significant by increasing synchronization to 5-Hz vibrotactile stimulus within the second block. Regardless of frequency, ON–OFF paired VS differences were significantly higher in the second block compared to the first, more prominent for RS neurons, and in general for neurons in layers III and VI. No such effects could be found on AFRs. The results suggest that cholinergic activation induces some changes in the hindpaw area, enabling relatively higher increases in synchronization to vibrotactile inputs with subsequent BF modulation. In addition, this modulation depends on neuron type and layer, which may be related to detailed projection pattern from BF.
