Syncytial isopotentiality : A system-wide electrical feature of astrocytic networks in the brain
© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc..
Syncytial isopotentiality, resulting from a strong electrical coupling, emerges as a physiological mechanism that coordinates individual astrocytes to function as a highly efficient system in brain homeostasis. However, whether syncytial isopotentiality occurs selectively to certain brain regions or is universal to astrocytic networks remains unknown. Here, we have explored the correlation of syncytial isopotentiality with different astrocyte subtypes in various brain regions. Using a nonphysiological K+ -free/Na+ electrode solution to depolarize a recorded astrocyte in situ, the existence of syncytial isopotentiality can be revealed: the recorded astrocyte's membrane potential remains at a quasi-physiological level due to strong electrical coupling with neighboring astrocytes. Syncytial isopotentiality appears in Layer I of the motor, sensory, and visual cortical regions, where astrocytes are organized with comparable cell densities, interastrocytic distances, and the quantity of directly coupled neighbors. Second, though astrocytes vary in their cytoarchitecture in association with neuronal circuits from Layers I-VI, the established syncytial isopotentiality remains comparable among different layers in the visual cortex. Third, neurons and astrocytes are uniquely organized as barrels in Layer IV somatosensory cortex; interestingly, astrocytes both inside and outside of the barrels do electrically communicate with each other and also share syncytial isopotentiality. Fourth, syncytial isopotentiality appears in radial-shaped Bergmann glia and velate astrocytes in the cerebellar cortex. Fifth, although fibrous astrocytes in white matter exhibit a distinct morphology, their network syncytial isopotentiality is comparable with protoplasmic astrocytes. Altogether, syncytial isopotentiality appears as a system-wide electrical feature of astrocytic networks in the brain.
