Abstract:
AIM: To clarify the role and mechanism of hippocampus in the formation of P3-like. METHODS: (1) The hippocampal and parietal P3-like were simultaneously recorded by chronically implanted electrodes in rats. (2) In forebrain ischemia/reperfusion model, the effects of the selective damage of hippocampal CA1 subfield on the hippocampal and parietal P3-like were examined. (3) The changes of hippocampal and parietal P3-like after the inhibition of acetylcholine activity in the septo-hippocampal pathway by intraperitoneal injection of atropine (30 mg/kg) were also detected. (4) The changes of conditional active avoidance response was tested by shuttle-box following forebrain ischemia/reperfusion. RESULTS: (1) The peak latencies of hippocampal and parietal P3-like were prolonged after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion. (2) The polarity of hippocampal P3-like were reversed after the inhibition of acetylcholine activity in the septo-hippocampal pathway by atropine. (3) The prolongation of P3-like peak latency was closely related to the lowering of the score of conditional active avoidance response after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion. CONCLUSION: (1) The formation of P3-like depends on the integrity of hippocampus formation. (2) Hippocampus is not the only generator of P3-like, P3-like could be produced in multiple way. (3) The activity of acetylcholine in the septo-hippocampal pathway has notable effects on the formation of P3-like. (4) P3-like could be used as the sensitive marker of cognitive function.
