The efficiency of neural circuits is enhanced not only by increasing synaptic strength but also by increasing intrinsic excitability. In contrast to the detailed analysis of long-term potentiation (LTP), less attention has been given to activity-dependent changes in the intrinsic neuronal excitability. By stimulating hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons with synaptic inputs correlating with postsynaptic neuronal spikes, we elicited an LTP of intrinsic excitability (LTP-IE) concurring with synaptic LTP. LTP-IE was manifested as a decrease in the action potential threshold that was attributable to a hyperpolarized shift in the activation curve of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) rather than activity-dependent changes in synaptic inputs or A-type K(+) channels. Cell-attached patch recording of VGSC activities indicated such an activity-dependent change in VGSCs. Induction of LTP-IE was blocked by the NMDA receptor antagonist APV, intracellular BAPTA, the CaM kinase inhibitors KN-62 and autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide, and the protein synthesis inhibitors emetine and anisomycin. The results suggest that induction of LTP-IE shares a similar signaling pathway with the late phase of synaptic LTP and requires activation of the NMDA glutamate receptor subtype, Ca(2+) influx, activity of CaM kinase II, and function of the protein synthesis. This new form of hippocampal neuronal plasticity could be a cellular correlate of learning and memory besides synaptic LTP.
