• W2000748819 abstract "Heart interneurons (HNs) in the third and fourth ganglia of the medicinal leech are units of the central pattern generator driving the heartbeat. When placed in bath with Co2+ and 4-aminopyridine, cells in a ganglion exhibit seizure-like activity with slow plateau oscillations [1]. In this scenario, the synaptic currents, the Ca2+ currents, and most of the K+ currents are blocked. We consider this bursting activity to be a model for chemically induced seizures.We present a novel Hodgkin-Huxley type model of the pharmacologically reduced HN. The model contains a leak current and four voltage-gated ionic currents: a fast Na+ current, a persistent Na+ current (IP), a non-inactivating K+ current (IK2), and a hyperpolarization-activated current (Ih). This model produced slow plateau-like bursting at an initial set of parameters. We systematically varied two parameters of the leak current (gLeak and ELeak) and recorded a variety of silent and oscillatory regimes.For a given value of ELeak, we established the range of values of gLeak for which the system supported bursting activity. For large values of gLeak, the model exhibited quiescence. As gLeak was decreased, the equilibrium lost stability in an Andronov-Hopf bifurcation, and a saddle orbit was born. The ranges of values in gLeak for which the system exhibited bursting and quiescence overlapped defining a range of values in gLeak supporting coexistence of the two regimes. Coexistence means that an external perturbation can switch the activity from one of the stable regimes to another.We explored bistability of bursting and silence by injecting a square pulse of current to perturb bursting activity. Pulses of current were characterized by two parameters: the amplitude of the pulse and the phase in the cycle period at which the pulse was applied. We varied the phase and amplitude through a range of values and determined whether a given pulse switched the activity from bursting to silence. We found contiguous parameter sets that satisfied this criterion.We examined the role of each current in supporting bistability of bursting and silence. The propensity of the model to bistability of bursting and silence was defined as the range of gLeak for which bursting and silence coexisted. We computed this value while iteratively varying the maximal conductance of each voltage-gated current. Increasing the maximal conductance of IK2 increased the range of bistability, and there was a similar trend for Ih. In contrast, the range of bistability increased as the maximal conductance of IP decreased. We tested whether these effects were complimentary. We selected values of the maximal conductances of IK2, Ih, and IP that each supported the largest range of bistability found. We performed a two-parameter (gLeak, ELeak) bifurcation analysis in both the initial model and this new model. The range of bistability in the new model increased substantially over that exhibited in the initial model.We suggest that this study could lead to the development of novel methods for controlling seizures." @default.
