Hippocampal slices from NRG1tg-type I mice are prone to carbachol-induced epileptiform activity. (A) Sample field potentials during baseline (top trace) and following application of 20 μM carbachol (CCh; middle and bottom traces) in slices from NRG1tg-type I mice. The lower 2 panels show examples of carbachol-evoked epileptiform field potential discharges resembling ictal and interictal-like bursts. (B) Pie charts illustrate the percentage of slices in which cholinergic activation (5–20 μM carbachol) results in robust gamma oscillations (empty segment) or immediate field epileptiform activity (filled segment). The proportion showing epileptiform activity is higher in slices from NRG1tg-type I mice than wt mice (Fisher’s exact test, P < 0.0001).
