abstract = {Memory deficits are a debilitating symptom of epilepsy, but
little is known about mechanisms underlying cognitive
deficits. Here, we describe a Na+ channel-dependent
mechanism underlying altered hippocampal dendritic
integration, degraded place coding and deficits in spatial
memory. Two-photon glutamate uncaging experiments revealed a
marked increase in the fraction of hippocampal first-order
CA1 pyramidal cell dendrites capable of generating dendritic
spikes in the kainate model of chronic epilepsy. Moreover,
in epileptic mice dendritic spikes were generated with lower
input synchrony, and with a lower threshold. The Nav1.3/1.1
selective Na+ channel blocker ICA-121431 reversed dendritic
hyperexcitability in epileptic mice, while the Nav1.2/1.6
preferring anticonvulsant S-Lic did not. We used in vivo
two-photon imaging to determine if aberrant dendritic
excitability is associated with altered place-related firing
of CA1 neurons. We show that ICA-121431 improves degraded
hippocampal spatial representations in epileptic mice.
Finally, behavioural experiments show that reversing
aberrant dendritic excitability with ICA-121431 reverses
hippocampal memory deficits. Thus, a dendritic channelopathy
may underlie cognitive deficits in epilepsy and targeting it
pharmacologically may constitute a new avenue to enhance
cognition.},
