Studies with rodents suggest that acute ethanol exposure impairs information flow through the cerebellar cortex, in part, by increasing GABAergic input to granule cells. Experiments suggest that an increase in the excitability of specialized GABAergic interneurons that regulate granule cell activity (i.e. Golgi cells, GoCs) contributes to this effect. In GoCs, ethanol increases spontaneous action potential firing frequency, decreased the afterhyperpolarization amplitude, and depolarized the membrane potential. Studies suggest that these effects could be mediated by inhibition of the Na+/K+ ATPase. The purpose of this study was to characterize the potential role of other GoC conductances in the mechanism of action of ethanol. Computer modeling techniques and patch-clamp electrophysiological recordings with acute slices from rat cerebella were used for these studies. Computer modeling suggested that modulation of subthreshold Na+ channels, hyperpolarization activated currents and several K+ conductances could explain some but not all actions of ethanol on GoCs. Electrophysiological studies did not find evidence consistent with a contribution of these conductances. Quinidine, a non-selective blocker of several types of channels (including several K+ channels) that also antagonizes the Na+/K+ ATPase, reduced the effect of ethanol on GoC firing. These findings lend further support to the conclusion that ethanol increases GoC excitability via modulation of the Na+/K+ ATPase, and suggest that a quinidine-sensitive K+ channel may also play a role in the mechanism of action of ethanol.
