1. We studied regulation of intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) in cultured rat hippocampal neurones using fluorescence ratio imaging of the Na+ indicator dye SBFI (sodium‐binding benzofuran isophthalate). 2. In standard CO2/HCO3(‐)‐buffered saline with 3 mM K+, neurones had a baseline [Na+]i of 8.9 +/‐ 3.8 mM (mean +/‐ S.D.). Spontaneous, transient [Na+]i increases of 5 mM were observed in neurones on 27% of the coverslips studied. These [Na+]i increases were often synchronized among nearby neurones and were blocked reversibly by 1 microM tetrodotoxin (TTX) or by saline containing 10 mM Mg2+, suggesting that they were caused by periodic bursting activity of synaptically coupled cells. Opening of voltage‐gated Na+ channels by application of 50 microM veratridine caused a TTX‐sensitive [Na+]i increase of 25 mM. 3. Removing extracellular Na+ caused an exponential decline in [Na+]i to values close to zero within 10 min. Inhibition of Na+,K(+)‐ATPase by removal of extracellular K+ or ouabain application evoked a [Na+]i increase of 5 mM min‐1. Baseline [Na+]i was similar in the presence or absence of CO2/HCO3‐; switching from CO2/HCO3(‐)‐free to CO2/HCO3(‐)‐buffered saline, however, increased [Na+]i transiently by 3 mM, indicating activation of Na(+)‐dependent Cl(‐)‐HCO3‐ exchange. Inhibition of Na(+)‐K(+)‐2Cl‐ cotransport by bumetanide had no effect on [Na+]i. 4. Brief, small changes in extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o) influenced neuronal [Na+]i only weakly. Virtually no change in [Na+]i was observed with elevation or reduction of [K+]o by 1 mM. Only 30% of cells reacted to 3 min [K+]o elevations of up to 5 mM. In contrast, long [K+]o alterations (> or = 10 min) to 6 mM or greater slowly changed steady‐state [Na+]i in the majority of cells. 5. Our results indicate several differences between [Na+]i regulation in cultured hippocampal neurones and astrocytes. Baseline [Na+]i is lower in neurones compared with astrocytes and is mainly determined by Na+,K(+)‐ATPase, whereas Na(+)‐dependent Cl(‐)‐HCO3‐ exchange, Na(+)‐HCO3‐ cotransport or Na(+)‐K(+)‐2Cl‐ cotransport do not play a significant role. In contrast to glial cells, [Na+]i of neurones changes only weakly with small alterations in bath [K+]o, suggesting that activity‐induced [K+]o changes in the brain might not significantly influence neuronal Na+,K(+)‐ATPase activity.
