- W2120273249 abstract "Gonadotropin-releasing-hormone (GnRH) neurons form part of a central neural oscillator that controls sexual reproduction through intermittent release of the GnRH peptide. Activity of GnRH neurons, and by extension release of GnRH, has been proposed to reflect intrinsic properties and synaptic input of GnRH neurons. To study GnRH neurons, we used traditional electrophysiology and computational methods. These emerging methodologies enhance the elucidation of processing in GnRH neurons. We used dynamic current-clamping to understand how living GnRH somata process input from glutamate and GABA, two key neurotransmitters in the neuroendocrine hypothalamus. In order to study the impact of synaptic integration in dendrites and neuronal morphology, we have developed full-morphology models of GnRH neurons. Using dynamic clamping, we have demonstrated that small-amplitude glutamatergic currents can drive repetitive firing in GnRH neurons. Furthermore, application of simulated GABAergic synapses with a depolarized reversal potential have revealed two functional subpopulations of GnRH neurons: one population in which GABA chronically depolarizes membrane potential (without inducing action potentials) and a second population in which GABAergic excitation results in slow spiking. Finally, when AMPA-type and GABA-type simulated inputs are applied together, action potentials occur when the AMPA-type conductance occurs during the descending phase of GABAergic excitation and at the nadir of GABAergic inhibition. Compartmental computer models have shown that excitatory synapses at >300 microns from somtata are unable to drive spiking with purely passive dendrites. In models with active dendrites, distal synapses are more efficient at driving spiking than somatic inputs. We then used our models to extend the results from dynamic current clamping at GnRH somata to distribute synaptic inputs along the dendrite. We show that propagation delays for dendritic synapses alter synaptic integration in GnRH neurons by widening the temporal window of interaction for the generation of action potentials. Finally, we have shown that changes in dendrite morphology can modulate the output of GnRH neurons by altering the efficacy of action potential generation in response to after-depolarization potentials (ADPs). Taken together, the methodologies of dynamic current clamping and multi-compartmental modeling can make major contributions to the study of synaptic integration and structure-function relationships in hypothalamic GnRH neurons. Use of these methodological approaches will continue to provide keen insights leading to conceptual advances in our understanding of reproductive hormone secretion in normal and pathological physiology and open the door to understanding whether the mechanisms of pulsatile GnRH release are conserved across species." @default.
