    Genetic blockade of CA3 synaptic transmission attenuates acute KA-induced seizures. A, The mean behavioral seizure score following kainic acid injection was significantly reduced in CA3-TeTX mice. Analysis revealed that (B) the fraction of CA3-TeTX mice reaching stage 3 seizures (forelimb clonus and rearing) was reduced compared with control mice. The mutant mice also had (C) a significantly lower maximal seizure score and (D) a lower cumulative seizure score than control mice. ****p<0.0001, ***p<0.001, **p<0.01. Control, n=9; CA3-TeTX n=9.

    Figure 2.

    Loss of CA3 output causes a decrease in c-fos expression in the CA3 and CA1 subfields following KA-induced seizure. A, Examples of c-fos protein expression in the dorsal hippocampus of control (top) and CA3-TeTX (bottom) mice 2.5 h after injection with kainic acid (left) or saline (right). Quantification of the fluorescent c-fos expression signal finds significantly higher signal in the (B) CA1 and (C) CA3 regions of the control mice injected with KA compared with the CA3-TeTX/KA and both saline groups. However, in the (D) DG, robust c-fos expression was evident in both genotypes following KA injection. ***p<0.001. Control + KA, n=7; control + saline, n=6; CA3-TeTX + KA, n=8; CA3-TeTX + saline, n=4.

    Figure 3.

    Loss of CA3 output prevents increases in CA1 oscillations induced by KA. A, Example LFP recordings in CA1 stratum radiatum from a control (blue; top) and CA3-TeTX (red; bottom) mouse 60 min after kainic acid injection. For each genotype the top panel shows the raw LFP, the second panel the theta band filtered LFP, the third the slow gamma filtered LFP, and the bottom the fast gamma filtered LFP. Note the scale in the control traces is 10× that of the CA3-TeTX mice. KA injection lead to a significant increase in power in the (B) theta band and the (C) slow gamma band 35 min postinjection, and in the (D) fast gamma band 25 min following KA. ****p<0.0001, ***p<0.001, **p<0.01, *p<0.05. Control, n=22 (control ON DOX, n=12; control OFF DOX, n=4; CA3-TeTX ON DOX, n=6); CA3-TeTX, n=16.
