Popis: Neuronal network dysfunction is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the underlying pathomechanisms remain unknown. We analyzed the hippocampal micronetwork in a rat model of AD at an early disease stage at the beginning of extracellular amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition. We established two-photon Ca2+-imaging in vivo in the hippocampus of rats and found hyperactivity of CA1 neurons. Patch-clamp recordings in brain slices in vitro revealed changes in the passive properties and intrinsic excitability of CA1 pyramidal neurons. Furthermore, we observed increased neuronal input resistance and prolonged action potential width in CA1 pyramidal neurons. Surprisingly, all parameters measured to quantify synaptic inhibition and excitation onto CA1 pyramidal neurons were intact suggesting a cell immanent deficit. Our data support the view that altered intrinsic excitability of CA1 neurons may precede inhibitory dysfunction at an early stage of disease progression.
