Abstract
Anoxic spreading depolarization (aSD) is a hallmark of ischemic injury in the cerebral cortex. In adults, aSD is associated with rapid and nearly complete neuronal depolarization and loss of neuronal functions. While ischemia also evokes aSD in the immature cortex, developmental aspects of neuronal behavior during aSD remain largely unknown. Here, using oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) ischemia model in slices of the postnatal rat somatosensory cortex, we found that immature neurons displayed much more complex behaviors: they initially moderately depolarized during aSD, then transiently repolarised (for up to tens of minutes), and only then passed to terminal depolarization. The ability to fire action potentials was maintained in neurons mildly depolarized during aSD without reaching the level of depolarization block, and these functions were regained in the majority of immature neurons during post-aSD transient repolarization. The amplitude of depolarization and the probability of depolarization block during aSD increased, whereas transient post-SD repolarization levels and duration, and associated recovery in neuronal firing decreased with age. By the end of the first postnatal month, aSD acquired an adult-like phenotype, where depolarization during aSD merged with terminal depolarization and the phase of transient recovery was lost. Thus, changes in neuronal function during aSD undergo remarkable developmental changes that may contribute to lower susceptibility of the immature neurons to ischemia.

Abstract
An improved version of the integrative optical imaging method has been developed that substantially increases the time resolution of diffusion measurements. We present a theory for time-resolved integrative optical imaging that incorporates a time-dependent effective diffusion coefficient in homogeneous anisotropic media and a time-dependent nonspecific linear clearance. The method was applied to measure the very fast changes in extracellular diffusion that occur during spreading depression in rat hippocampal slices. We were able to achieve a time resolution of approximately 1 s, an improvement of at least 10 times compared to the standard methods for extracellular diffusion measurement. We have found that diffusion of a small fluorescent extracellular marker (MW 3000) completely stopped during the maximum direct current shift associated with the spreading depression wave, then gradually resumed over several minutes afterward. The effect of spreading depression on extracellular space is much larger than previously estimated by other methods with lower time resolution.

Abstract
The tachykinin substance P (SP) increases neuronal excitability, participates in homeostatic control, but induces brain oedema after stroke or trauma. We asked whether SP is able to induce cortical spreading depression (CSD) which often aggravates stroke-induced pathology. In anesthetized rats we applied SP (10−5, 10−6, 10−7, or 10−8 mol/L) to a restricted cortical area and recorded CSDs there and in remote non-treated areas using microelectrodes. SP was either applied in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF), or in aqua to perform a preconditioning. Plasma extravasation in cortical grey matter was assessed with Evans Blue. Only SP dissolved in aqua induced self-regenerating CSDs. SP dissolved in ACSF did not ignite CSDs even when excitability was increased by acetate-preconditioning. Aqua alone elicited as few CSDs as the lowest concentration of SP. Local pretreatment with 250 nmol/L of a neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist prevented the SP-induced plasma extravasation, the initiation of CSDs by 10−5 mol/L SP diluted in aqua, and the initiation of CSDs by aqua alone, but did not suppress KCl-induced CSD. Thus neurokinin 1 receptor antagonists may be used to explore the involvement of SP in CSDs in clinical studies.

Susceptibility of the cerebral cortex to spreading depolarization in neurological disease states: The impact of aging. Neurochem Int 2018; 127:125-136. [PMID: 30336178 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2018.10.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2018] [Revised: 10/10/2018] [Accepted: 10/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Secondary injury following acute brain insults significantly contributes to poorer neurological outcome. The spontaneous, recurrent occurrence of spreading depolarization events (SD) has been recognized as a potent secondary injury mechanism in subarachnoid hemorrhage, malignant ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury. In addition, SD is the underlying mechanism of the aura symptoms of migraineurs. The susceptibility of the nervous tissue to SD is subject to the metabolic status of the tissue, the ionic composition of the extracellular space, and the functional status of ion pumps, voltage-gated and other cation channels, glutamate receptors and excitatory amino acid transporters. All these mechanisms tune the excitability of the nervous tissue. Aging has also been found to alter SD susceptibility, which appears to be highest at young adulthood, and decline over the aging process. The lower susceptibility of the cerebral gray matter to SD in the old brain may be caused by the age-related impairment of mechanisms implicated in ion translocations between the intra- and extracellular compartments, glutamate signaling and surplus potassium and glutamate clearance. Even though the aging nervous tissue is thus less able to sustain SD, the consequences of SD recurrence in the old brain have proven to be graver, possibly leading to accelerated lesion maturation. Taken that recurrent SDs may pose an increased burden in the aging injured brain, the benefit of therapeutic approaches to restrict SD generation and propagation may be particularly relevant for elderly patients.

Abstract
Spreading depolarizations of long cumulative duration have been implicated in lesion development and progression in patients with stroke and traumatic brain injury. Spreading depolarizations evolve less likely in the aged brain, but it remains to be determined at what age the susceptibility to spreading depolarizations starts to decline, especially in ischemia. Spreading depolarizations were triggered by epidural electric stimulation prior and after ischemia induction in the cortex of 7-30 weeks old anesthetized rats ( n = 38). Cerebral ischemia was achieved by occlusion of both common carotid arteries. Spreading depolarization occurrence was confirmed by the acquisition of DC potential and electrocorticogram. Cerebral blood flow variations were recorded by laser-Doppler flowmetry. Dendritic spine density in the cortex was determined in Golgi-COX stained sections. Spreading depolarization initiation required increasingly greater electric charge with older age, a potential outcome of consolidation of cortical connections, indicated by altered dendritic spine distribution. The threshold of spreading depolarization elicitation increased with ischemia in all age groups, which may be caused by tissue acidosis and increased K+ conductance, among other factors. In conclusion, the brain appears to be the most susceptible to spreading depolarizations at adolescent age; therefore, spreading depolarizations may occur in young patients of ischemic or traumatic brain injury at the highest probability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) is a powerful cerebrovascular dilator in vivo. Cortical spreading depression (CSD) has recently been shown to contribute to the pial arteriolar dilation in mice. Our main aim was to examine the participation of CSD in the overall cerebrovascular response to NMDA in the rat. METHODS Anesthetized Wistar rats (eight weeks old) were equipped with a closed cranial window to allow topical application of NMDA (10(-5)-10(-3) M) to the parietal cortex. Cortical blood flow (CoBF) under and outside the cranial window was simultaneously monitored by using a two-channel laser-Doppler flowmeter. CSDs were detected by recording the changes in the cortical DC potential. RESULTS Concentrations of 10(-4) and 10(-3) M of NMDA evoked single CSDs associated with rapid, transient hyperemia, followed by a sustained, but reduced, increase in CoBF. The latency and magnitude of the CoBF responses were dose dependent. The higher dose resulted in shorter latency (100+/-5* vs. 146+/-11 seconds, *P<0.05; mean+/-standard error of the mean) and larger overall flow response (77+/-12* vs. 28+/-3% from baseline) under, but not outside, the cranial window. CONCLUSIONS NMDA elicits dose-dependent increases in CoBF that are composed of CSD-dependent and -independent components in rats.

Abstract
Cortical spreading depression (CSD) leads to dramatic changes in cerebral hemodynamics. However, mechanisms involved in promoting and counteracting cerebral vasodilator responses are unclear. Here we review the development and current status of this important field of research especially with respect to the role of perivascular nerves and nitric oxide (NO). It appears that neurotransmitters released from the sensory and the parasympathetic nerves associated with cerebral arteries, and NO released from perivascular nerves and/or parenchyma, promote cerebral hyperemia during CSD. However, the relative contributions of each of these factors vary according to species studied. Related to CSD, axonal and reflex responses involving trigeminal afferents on the pial surface lead to increased blood flow and inflammation of the overlying dura mater. Counteracting the cerebral vascular dilation is the production and release of constrictor prostaglandins, at least in some species, and other possibly yet unknown agents from the vascular wall. The cerebral blood flow response in healthy human cortex has not been determined, and thus it is unclear whether the cerebral oligemia associated with migraines represents the normal physiological response to a CSD-like event or represents a pathological response. In addition to promoting cerebral hyperemia, NO produced during CSD appears to initiate signaling events which lead to protection of the brain against subsequent ischemic insults. In summary, the cerebrovascular response to CSD involves multiple dilator and constrictor factors produced and released by diverse cells within the neurovascular unit, with the contribution of each of these factors varying according to the species examined.

Abstract
Spreading depression (SD), a neuronal mechanism involved in brain pathophysiology, occurs in brain areas with high neuronal density such as the cerebral cortex. By contrast, the brain stem is thought to be resistant to SD. Here we show that DC shifts resembling cortical SD can be elicited in rat brain stem by topical application of KCl but not by pricking the brain stem. However, this was only possible until postnatal day 13, and, in addition, susceptibility for SD had to be enhanced. The latter was achieved by superfusion of the brain stem for 45 min with a solution containing acetate instead of chloride ions. Transient asphyxia or hypoxia by 2 min breathing 6% O2 in N2 had a similar effect. Negative brain stem DC deflections were paralleled by an increase of extracellular potassium concentration </=40 mM and were spreading, but unlike cortical SD they were not inducible by glutamate and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA). Time course and slope of brain stem SD either resembled cortical SD or were long-lasting and sustained. The latter stopped normal breathing. Different from cortical SD, negative brain stem DC deflections were changed in their slope (mostly converted into sustained shape, peak time was significantly prolonged, decline-time and duration were prolonged), but not abolished by the NMDA receptor blocker MK-801. Thus we demonstrate that the immature brain stem has the capacity to generate negative DC shifts, which could be relevant as a risk factor in newborn brain stem function.

Abstract
Febrile seizures are the most common seizure type in children (6 mo to 5 yr). The pathophysiology of febrile seizures is unknown. Current genetic studies show that some febrile seizures result from channelopathies. We have performed electrophysiological experiments in in vitro hippocampal slices to test a novel hypothesis that a disordered regulation of ionic homeostasis underlies the genesis of febrile seizures. In transverse hippocampal CA1 slices from 104 rats, temperature increase from 34 degrees to 40 degrees C produced a series of spreading depressions (SDs), called hyperthermic SDs. The hyperthermic SDs were age-dependent, occurring in only 1/17 8-16 day-old animals, 44/49 17-60 day-old animals, and 11/20 rats older than than 60 days. The hyperthermic SDs usually occurred on the rising phase of the temperature. The mean temperature to trigger a first hyperthermic SD was 38.8 +/- 1.3 degrees C (mean +/- SD, n = 44). The hyperthermic SDs induced a reversible loss of evoked synaptic potentials and a dramatic decrease of input resistance. Neuronal and field epileptiform bursting occurred in the early phases of the hyperthermic SD. During hyperthermic SDs, pyramidal cell membrane potential depolarized by 38.3 +/- 4.9 mV (n = 20), extracellular field shifted negative 18.5 +/- 3.9 mV (n = 44), and extracellular K(+) rose reversibly to 43.8 +/- 10.9 mM (n = 6). Similar SDs could be evoked by ouabain or transient hypoxia with normal temperature. Tetrodotoxin could block initial epileptiform bursting, without blocking SDs. Hyperthermia-induced SDs should be investigated as possible contributing factors to febrile seizures.

Abstract
The Mongolian gerbil is known as an animal model that often exhibits spontaneous seizures that are characteristic of human epilepsy. Whereas there is much more information available relating this phenomenon to anatomical and electrophysiological characteristics of the hippocampal formation, the somatosensory cortex has rarely been the focus of attention. Given the existence of the fine grain cortical barrels developed in an orderly matrix, the vibrissa ascending system was thought the best sensory channel in which the gerbil neocortical excitability was to be tested. In the present study, we compared cortical evoked potentials to electric stimulation of vibrissa (whisker) follicle between the seizure-sensitive (SS) and seizure-resistant (SR) gerbils. Whereas our standard stimulation of the whisker follicle elicited a positive-negative biphasic somatosensory cortical potential in SR animals, it evoked only a positive monophasic potential in SS animals. Although the amplitude of positivity was generally larger in SR animals, the latency to reach this peak was significantly smaller than in the SS animals. Apparently there was no group difference in the laminar profile or the size of barrels that represent, in one-to-one fashion, the array of whisker follicles. It was suggested that an altered level of excitability in the absence of gross anatomy differentiates the seizure-sensitive gerbils from the seizure-resistant counterparts. Possible functional differences between the cortices of the two groups were discussed in light of the known synaptic electrophysiology.
