[Analysis of nerve excitability in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion mice].

Ischemic stroke often leads to cognitive dysfunction, which delays the recovery process of patients. However, its pathogenesis is not yet clear. In this study, the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was built as the experimental object, and the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) was the target brain area. TTC staining was used to evaluate the degree of cerebral infarction, and nerve cell membrane potentials and local field potentials (LFPs) signals were collected to explore the mechanism of cognitive impairment in ischemia-reperfusion mice. The results showed that the infarcted area on the right side of the brain of the mice in the model group was white. The resting membrane potential, the number of action potential discharges, the post-hyperpolarization potential and the maximum ascending slope of the hippocampal DG nerve cells in the model mice were significantly lower than those in the control group ( <i>P</i> < 0.01); the peak time, half-wave width, threshold and maximum descending slope of the action potential were significantly higher than those in the control group ( <i>P</i> < 0.01). The time-frequency energy values of LFPs signals in the θ and γ bands of mice in the ischemia and reperfusion groups were significantly reduced ( <i>P</i> < 0.01), and the time-frequency energy values in the reperfusion group were increased compared with the ischemia group ( <i>P</i> < 0.01). The signal complexity of LFPs in the ischemia and reperfusion group was significantly reduced ( <i>P</i> < 0.05), and the signal complexity in the reperfusion group was increased compared with the ischemia group ( <i>P</i> < 0.05). In summary, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion reduced the excitability of nerve cells in the DG area of the mouse hippocampus; cerebral ischemia reduced the discharge activity and signal complexity of nerve cells, and the electrophysiological indicators recovered after reperfusion, but it failed to reach the healthy state during the experiment period.
