Abstract(in English) β rhythm in hippocampus has not so far been studied while θ rhythm was studied by many researchers in terms of the relationship with the memory function. In olfactory learning, β rhythm is said to be related to the retrieval process of the memory processing. Recently it is found that locus ceruleus (LC) activation suppresses β rhythm in dentate gyrus of hippocampus in vivo. Noradrenergic fibers derived from LC project to hippocampus. Carbachol, a cholinergic agent, can induce β-oscillation in rat hippocampal slices like β rhythm in vivo. In the present study, the effect of noradrenaline (NA) on the generation of carbachol-induced β-oscillation was studied in CA3 region of rat hippocampal slices. Carbachol (30μM) induced β-oscillation with the frequency and the amplitude of 15.6±0.3Hz, and 0.7±0.1 mV, respectively (mean±S.E.M.; n=24). NA(50μM) significantly increased the frequency of 16.7±0.4Hz (p<0.05), not change the amplitude. The results suggest that LC activation may increase the frequency of β rhythm in CA3 region of hippocampus.
