AbstractSignal transmission in the adult vestibular nucleus (VN) is regulated by excitatory and inhibitory synapses. Little is known about synaptic activities in developing VN. Patch clamp recordings in VN neurons of postnatal rats revealed that both the number and amplitude of GABAergic miniature IPSC increased with age while the decay time decreased. Corresponding parameters of glutamatergic miniature EPSC (mEPSC) did not change with age. These mEPSCs were equally contributed by AMPA and NMDA components before P9 but were dominated by AMPA component at P21. For evoked EPSC (eEPSC), we observed a developmental decrease in NMDA component and a reciprocal increase in the quantal contribution of AMPA component. The reduction in NMDA-only synapses coincided with the increase in AMPA/NMDA ratio. We further found that NMDA receptor-mediated eEPSC was contributed predominantly by NR2B subunit in neonates but by NR2A subunit after P7. Our findings document changes in synaptic events during the maturation of VN neurons. Supported by HKRGC.
