Intracellular recordings from CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons were obtained using the in vitro hippocampal slice preparation [for the guinea pig]. Responses to ACh [acetylcholine] were monitored in the presence of blockers of voltage-dependent conductances including Mn2+, TTX [tetrodotoxin] and Ba2+. When Mn2+ was used to block voltage-dependent Ca conductance and possible indirect presynaptic cholinergic actions, ACh still induced an significant voltage-sensitive increase in apparent input resistance (Ra) (29%), but only an insignificant depolarization of membrane potential (Vm). When both voltage-dependent Ca and Na conductances were blocked by application of Mn2+ and TTX, respectively, ACh produced voltage-dependent increases in Ra (31%) without significant depolarization. In solutions containing TTX alone, ACh produced voltage-sensitive increases in Ra (32%) as well as a significant depolarization (6.2 .+-. 3.1 mV (SD)). ACh transiently blocked the conductance increase which followed presumed Ca spikes, suggesting an action on the Ca-activated, K-dependent conductance. The effects of Ba2+ application (100-200 .mu.M) on Ra mimicked those of ACh. When ACh was applied to neurons in the presence of BA2+, Ra remained unchanged, although Vm depolarization of 5-15 mV was still seen. ACh decreases both a voltage-dependent K conductance (distinct form theat of the delayed rectifier) and a Ca-activated K conductance. Muscarinic cholinergic depolarization occurs as a result of blockade of K conductance and is mediated by voltage-dependent Ca and Na conductances and perhaps by presynaptic actions.
