The Role of G L U K 𝟓 -Containing Kainate Receptors in Entorhinal Cortex Gamma Frequency Oscillations

Figure 6

Blocking homomeric GLUK5-containing KARs significantly reduces kainate-driven gamma frequency oscillations in the MEC. (a) Extracellular field recordings showing 1 second epochs of activity (i) in the presence of 400 nM kainate and (ii) following application of 10 μM NS3763. (b) Pooled power spectra (n = 8) produced from 60 second epochs of extracellular field recorded data, showing a control recording (black), recording in the presence of 400 nM kainate (blue), application of 10 μM NS3763 (green), and a washout back into 400 nM kainate (red). Scale bar represents 200 milliseconds and 100 μV.
