Evidence for a cholinergic mechanism of “learned” changes in the responses of barrel field neurons of the awake and undrugged rat

Due to its functional importance and its large and highly differentiated central projections, the vibrissal system of rodents is a prime object for the study of sensory plasticity, especially at the cortical level: the representation of vibrissae in the “barrel field”, a part of the somatic cortex,...

description Due to its functional importance and its large and highly differentiated central projections, the vibrissal system of rodents is a prime object for the study of sensory plasticity, especially at the cortical level: the representation of vibrissae in the “barrel field”, a part of the somatic cortex, is exceptionally precise and is susceptible to experience-induced changes. In a previous series of experiments, we found that a sensory-sensory conditioning procedure, pairing two vibrissal stimulations, produces significant changes in responses of single neurons of the barrel field in the chronic awake and undrugged rat: (1) the appearance of an excitatory response to a stimulus that was ineffective before pairing (“conditioned response”). (2) the modifications of pre-existing responses consisting of the suppression of afferent inhibition and the appearance of long-latency excitatory components. We report here that the micro-iontophoretic application of atropine abolishes “conditioned responses” and restores afferent inhibition. Acetylcholine facilitates an enlargement of the receptive field and induces a sustained mode of discharge to stimuli. These data provide a new and direct support to the hypothesis that cholinergic mechanisms are involved in the sensory cortex plasticity.
