1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

key pointsWe determined the contribution of the hyperpolarization-activated cationic (h) current (Ih ) to the homeostatic regulation of CA1 pyramidal cells in vitro using chronic treatments (48 h) that either increase (picrotoxin) or decrease (kynurenate) neuronal activity. The h-conductance was found to be up- or down-regulated following chronic activity enhancement or activity deprivation, respectively. This bidirectional plasticity of Ih was found to subsequently alter both apparent input resistance and intrinsic neuronal excitability. Bidirectional homeostatic plasticity of Ih also determined EPSP waveform and EPSP summation tested at 5-30 Hz. Long-term synaptic modification induced by repetitive stimulation of the Schaffer collaterals was found to be constant across treatments in the presence of Ih but not when Ih was blocked pharmacologically. Thus, bidirectional homeostatic regulation of Ih stabilizes induction of long-term synaptic modification in CA1 pyramidal neurons that depends on EPSP summation. ABSTRACT: The hyperpolarization-activated cationic (h) current is a voltage-shock absorber, highly expressed in the dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons. Up-regulation of Ih has been reported following episodes of intense network activity but the effect of activity deprivation on Ih and the functional consequence of homeostatic regulation of Ih remain unclear. We determined here the contribution of Ih to the homeostatic regulation of CA1 pyramidal cell excitability. Intrinsic neuronal excitability was decreased in neurons treated for 2-3 days with the GABAA channel blocker picrotoxin (PiTx) but increased in neurons treated (2-3 days) with the glutamate receptor antagonist kynurenate (Kyn). Membrane capacitance remained unchanged after treatment but the apparent input resistance was reduced for PiTx-treated neurons and enhanced for Kyn-treated neurons. Maximal Ih conductance was up-regulated after chronic hyperactivity but down-regulated following chronic hypoactivity. Up-regulation of Ih in PiTx-treated cultures was found to accelerate EPSP kinetics and reduce temporal summation of EPSPs whereas opposite effects were observed in Kyn-treated cultures, indicating that homeostatic regulation of Ih may control the induction of synaptic modification depending on EPSP summation. In fact, stimulation of the Schaffer collaterals at 3-10 Hz induced differential levels of plasticity in PiTx-treated and Kyn-treated neurons when Ih was blocked pharmacologically but not in control conditions. These data indicate that homeostatic regulation of Ih normalizes the threshold for long-term synaptic modification that depends on EPSP summation. In conclusion, bidirectional homeostatic regulation of Ih not only controls spiking activity but also stabilizes the threshold for long-term potentiation induced in CA1 pyramidal neurons by repetitive stimulation.
