Modifications of excitatory and inhibitory transmission in rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons by acute lithium treatment

Highlights • Acute effects of Li+ were examined in isolated rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons. • 30–150 mM Li+ inhibited glutamatergic eEPSCs and GABAergic eIPSCs. • The inhibition was greater in eEPSCs. • Li+ slightly inhibited exogenous glutamate and GABA responses. • Findings suggest a preferenti...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Acute effects of Li+ were examined in isolated rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons. • 30–150 mM Li+ inhibited glutamatergic eEPSCs and GABAergic eIPSCs. • The inhibition was greater in eEPSCs. • Li+ slightly inhibited exogenous glutamate and GABA responses. • Findings suggest a preferential presynaptic inhibition by Li+.
