The rat hippocampal slice preparation was used in conjunction with intracellular recording and ionophoresis to study the action of GABA on CA1 pyramidal cells. GABA elicits a hyperpolarizing (H) response at the soma. The reversal potential of this H response is the same as for inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP) evoked by stimulating pyramidal cell axons. GABA elicits primarily depolarizing (D) responses when applied to the apical dendrites, but H responses can also be found. The GABA antagonists, bicuculline methiodide, picrotoxin, penicillin and pentylenetetrazole are all 10-100 times more potent on the D response than on the H response. Hyperpolarizing responses are uncovered in the dendrites when intermediate doses of these drugs block the D response. The GABA analog 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo [5,4-c]pyridine-3-ol (THIP), which may activate synaptic receptors preferentially in other systems, elicits H responses in the dendrites. It is 1/7 as potent as GABA in eliciting D responses. Pentobarbitone enhances D responses to a much greater extent than H responses, while diazepam enhances H responses to a greater extent. Nipecotic acid, low temperture and low Na+ media all increase the size of D responses to ionophoretically applied GABA, indicating that an active uptake process limits their size. H responses may reflect the activation of synaptic receptors, which are highly concentrated on the pyramidal cell soma-initial segment but are also present on the dendrities. Depolarizing responses which are evoked in the dendrites reflect the activation of extrasynaptic receptors. Evidently, an ordinarily undetectable amount of synaptically released GABA can spill over onto extrasynaptic (D) receptors. D receptor activation can be detected in the presence of pentobarbitone. Spillover is markedly enhanced at subphysiological temperatures, presumably due to enhanced release of GABA and impairment of the GABA-uptake system.
