Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It has been proposed that extracellular electric fields play essential roles for information processing in the mammalian brain. Previously we have reported the roles of DC electric fields for modifying neural activities of CA1 pyramidal neurons by using rat hippocampal slices. Here, we have determined the effect of applied extracellular AC electric fields on somatic membrane potentials in the CA1 pyramidal neurons by using the whole-cell patch clamp method.
CA1 pyramidal neurons have exhibited robust oscillations of membrane potentials in response to the applied 1-32 Hz AC field. Subsequent analyses of frequency preferences have revealed that the membrane potential amplitudes were larger at the range of 1 - 4 Hz, and the amplitudes were smaller at the higher frequency from 8 to 32 Hz. Relationship between the electric field intensity and the subthreshold membrane potential amplitude of the responses was almost linear and the slope was 0.4 mm in response to 2 Hz AC fields. Peak times of the membrane potential responses have shown significant delays from the peaks of the electric fields at all tested frequencies. The extent of the delay varied among the tested cells. These results suggest that the CA1 pyramidal neurons behave as passive elements possessing low-pass filters to the AC fields and that fluctuations of the timing and/or synchronizations of the action potentials may be produced with these response characteristic to the AC fields.
