The role of T‐type calcium channels in the subiculum: to burst or not to burst?

Pharmacological, molecular and genetic data indicate a prominent role of low‐voltage‐activated T‐type calcium channels (T‐channels) in the firing activity of both pyramidal and inhibitory interneurons in the subiculum. Pharmacological inhibition of T‐channels switched burst firing with lower depolarizing stimuli to regular spiking, and fully abolished hyperpolarization‐induced burst firing. Our molecular studies showed that CaV3.1 is the most abundantly expressed isoform of T‐channels in the rat subiculum. Consistent with this finding, both regular‐spiking and burst firing patterns were profoundly depressed in the mouse with global deletion of CaV3.1 isoform of T‐channels. Selective inhibition of T‐channels and global deletion of CaV3.1 channels completely suppressed development of long‐term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1–subiculum, but not in the CA3–CA1 pathway.
