Abstract:Objective To investigate the preliminary mechanism study of convulsive behavior induced by corticotropin releasing hormone(CRH)infusion into lateral ventricle in immature rats.Methods All SD immature rats were randomly divided into the blank experimental group (only lateral ventricular implant catheter,n=10),the artificial cerebrospinal fluid perfusion group(lateral ventricular perfusion artificial cerebrospinal fluid,n=10),the CRH perfusion group(lateral ventricular perfusion CRH,n=10).The SD immature rats were performed lateral ventricle infusion at 18 days after birth and using the lateral ventricular microperfusion and whole-cell patch clamp to detect the influence of CRH for membrane potential of pyramidal neurons at hippocampal.Results Convulsion behavior could be induced by CRH of(5±3)μl infusion into the lateral ventricle of SD immature rats,while the other groups were not clearly observed.The spontaneous discharge frequency of pyramidal neurons in CRH infusion in hippocampal slices was([5.67±1.75]Hz),which was significantly faster than before CRH infusion in hippocampal slices ([2.23±1.12]Hz)and after CRH infusion in hippocampal slices([1.28±0.72]Hz)(P<0.01).Conclusion CRH administered into cerebral ventricles can induce convulsive behavior in immature rats,and increasing excitability of pyramidal neurons,which can be used as the potential mechanisms.
