  • Donald Griffin Was Able to Affect a Major Revolution in What Scien- Tists Do and Think About the Cognition of Nonhuman Ani- Mals
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES DONALD R. GRIFFIN 1915– 2003 A Biographical Memoir by CHARLES G. GROSS Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 86 PUBLISHED 2005 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. DONALD R. GRIFFIN August 3, 1915–November 7, 2003 BY CHARLES G. GROSS OST SCIENTISTS SEEK—but never attain—two goals. The M first is to discover something so new as to have been previously inconceivable. The second is to radically change the way the natural world is viewed. Don Griffin did both. He discovered (with Robert Galambos) a new and unique sensory world, echolocation, in which bats can perceive their surroundings by listening to echoes of ultrasonic sounds that they produce. In addition, he brought the study of animal consciousness back from the limbo of forbidden topics to make it a central subject in the contemporary study of brain and behavior. EARLY YEARS Donald R. (Redfield) Griffin was born in Southampton, New York, but spent his early childhood in an eighteenth- century farmhouse in a rural area near Scarsdale, New York. His father, Henry Farrand Griffin, was a serious amateur historian and novelist, who worked as a reporter and in advertising before retiring early to pursue his literary inter- ests. His mother, Mary Whitney Redfield, read to him so much that his father feared for his ability to learn to read. His favorite books were Ernest Thompson Seton’s animal 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS stories and the National Geographic Magazine’s Mammals of North America.

  • Electrophysiological Mechanisms of Kainic Acid- Induced Epileptiform Activity in the Rat Hippocampal Slice’

May 1984 ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF KAINIC ACID- INDUCED EPILEPTIFORM ACTIVITY IN THE RAT HIPPOCAMPAL SLICE’ ROBERT S. FISHER’ AND BRADLEY E. ALGER Department of Physiology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Received August 29, 1983; Revised December 28, 1983; Accepted January 4, 1984 Abstract Depression of GABA-mediated IPSPs has been proposed to be a crucial factor in the onset of epileptiform activity in most models of epilepsy. To test this idea, we studied epileptiform activity induced by bath application of the excitatory neurotoxin kainic acid (KA) in the rat hippocampal slice. Repetitive field potential firing, spontaneous or evoked, occurred during exposure to KA. Intracellular records from 52 CA1 pyramidal cells during changes from control saline to saline containing i PM KA indicated that KA depolarized cells an average of about 5 mV and caused a 15% decrease in input resistance. Action potentials and current-induced burst afterhyperpolariza- tions did not change significantly. In several cells the tonic effects of KA were preceded by a transient phase of sporadic, spontaneous depolarizations of 2 to 10 mV and 50 to 200 msec duration. These phasic depolarizations were blocked by hyperpolarization. The major effect of 1 PM KA was a depression of synaptic potentials. Initially, KA depressed fast GABA-mediated IPSPs and slow, non-GABA-mediated late hyperpolarizing potentials to 23% and 40% of control values, respectively. IPSP depression correlated closely with onset of burst potential firing in response to synaptic stimulation.

Microfabricated brain slice chambers and flexible semi-transparent multi-electrode arrays allow controlled local changes in the chemical environments as well as high resolution electrophysiology and optical recording of brain slices which would in turn provide further information of the complex neuronal system. In this study, we exploit the advantages of microfabricated devices, including a microfluidic brain slice chamber for localized chemical stimulation and a flexible microelectrode array for spatial mapping of neuronal activities, to investigate various biophysical properties of cortical spreading depression. ii First, a microfluidic brain slice chamber is designed and fabricated to permit localized chemical stimulation to specific brain slice cortical regions.

  • Serotonergic Modulation of Plasticity of the Auditory Cortex Elicited by Fear Conditioning
    4910 • The Journal of Neuroscience, May 2, 2007 • 27(18):4910–4918 Behavioral/Systems/Cognitive Serotonergic Modulation of Plasticity of the Auditory Cortex Elicited by Fear Conditioning Weiqing Ji and Nobuo Suga Department of Biology, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri 63130 In the awake big brown bat, 30 min auditory fear conditioning elicits conditioned heart rate decrease and long-term best frequency (BF) shifts of cortical auditory neurons toward the frequency of the conditioned tone; 15 min conditioning elicits subthreshold cortical BF shifts that can be augmented by acetylcholine. The fear conditioning causes stress and an increase in the cortical serotonin (5-HT) level. Serotonergic neurons in the raphe nuclei associated with stress and fear project to the cerebral cortex and cholinergic basal forebrain. Recently, it has been shown that 5-HT2A receptors are mostly expressed on pyramidal neurons and their activation improves learning and ␣ memory. We applied 5-HT, an agonist ( -methyl-5-HT), or an antagonist (ritanserin) of 5-HT2A receptors to the primary auditory cortex and discovered the following drug effects: (1) 5-HT had no effect on the conditioned heart rate change, although it reduced the auditory responses; (2) 4 mM 5-HT augmented the subthreshold BF shifts, whereas 20 mM 5-HT did not; (3) 20 mM 5-HT reduced the long-term BF shifts and changed them into short-term; (4) ␣-methyl-5-HT increased the auditory responses and augmented the subthreshold BF shifts aswellasthelong-termBFshifts;(5)incontrast,ritanserinreducedtheauditoryresponsesandreversedthedirectionoftheBFshifts.Our data indicate that the BF shift can be modulated by serotonergic neurons that augment or reduce the BF shift or even reverse the direction of the BF shift.

Here we addressed structure–function relationships in medial entorhinal cortex layer 3 by combining anatomical analysis with juxtacellular identification of single neurons in freely behaving rats. Anatomically, layer 3 appears as a relatively homogeneous cell sheet. Dual-retrograde neuronal tracing experiments indicate a large overlap between layer 3 pyramidal populations, which project to ipsilateral hippocampus, and the contralateral medial entorhinal cortex.

Identification of layer 3 neurons during spatial exploration (n ϭ 17) and extracellular recordings (n ϭ 52) pointed to homogeneous spatial discharge patterns. Layer 3 neurons showed only weak spiking theta rhyth- micity and sparse head-direction selectivity. A majority of cells (50 of 69) showed no significant spatial modulation. All of the ϳ28% of neurons that carried significant amounts of spatial information (19 of 69) discharged in irregular spatial patterns.
