In the early postnatal period, energy metabolism in the suckling rodent brain relies to a large extent on metabolic pathways alternate to glucose such as the utilization of ketone bodies (KBs). However, how KBs affect neuronal excitability is not known. Using recordings of single NMDA and GABA-activated channels in neocortical pyramidal cells we studied the effects of KBs on the resting membrane potential (E-m) and reversal potential of GABA-induced anionic currents (E-GABA), respectively. We show that during postnatal development (P3-P19) if neocortical brain slices are adequately supplied with KBs, E-m and E-GABA are both maintained at negative levels of about -83 and -80 mV, respectively. Conversely, a KB deficiency causes a significant depolarization of both E-m (> 5 mV) and E-GABA (> 15 mV). The KB-mediated shift in E-GABA is largely determined by the interaction of the NKCC1 cotransporter and Cl-/HCO3 transporter(s). Therefore, by inducing a hyperpolarizing shift in E-m and modulating GABA signaling mode, KBs can efficiently control the excitability of neonatal cortical neurons.
