Spontaneous and Visual Stimulation Evoked Firing Sequences Are Distinct Under Desflurane Anesthesia

Recurring spike sequences are thought to underlie cortical computations and may be essential for information processing in the conscious state. How anesthesia at graded levels may influence spontaneous and stimulus-related spike sequences in visual cortex has not been fully elucidated. We recorded extracellular single-unit activity in the rat primary visual cortex in vivo during wakefulness and three levels of anesthesia produced by desflurane. The latencies of spike sequences within 0-200 ms from the onset of spontaneous UP states and visual flash-evoked responses were compared. During wakefulness, spike latency patterns linked to the local field potential theta cycle were similar to stimulus-evoked patterns. Under desflurane anesthesia, spontaneous UP state sequences differed from flash-evoked sequences due to the recruitment of low-firing excitatory neurons to the UP state. Flash-evoked spike sequences showed higher reliability and longer latency when stimuli were applied during DOWN states compared to UP states. At deeper levels, desflurane altered both UP state and flash-evoked spike sequences by selectively suppressing inhibitory neuron firing. The results reveal desflurane-induced complex changes in cortical firing sequences that may influence visual information processing.
