However, in the absence of blood circulation in vitro, the tissue oxygenation strongly depends on the experimental conditions. It is well established that both hypoxia as well as hyperoxia can modulate the neuronal network activity. Thereby changes in tissue oxygen level during experiment may affect the final result. In the present study we investigated the effect of oxygenation on seizure susceptibility in the hippocampal slice preparation using 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) model of ictogenesis in immature rats. We found that changing the medium perfusion rate in the range of 1-5 ml/min greatly affects the tissue oxygenation, amplitude and frequency of 4-AP-induced synchronous neuronal activity. The decrease in the flow rate as well as substitution of the oxygen in the extracellular medium with nitrogen causes a strong reduction of 4-А P-induced synchronous neuronal discharges. Our results demonstrate a significant linear correlation between the power of4-AP-induced neuronal activity and the oxygen level in slice tissue. Also we demonstrated that the presence of medium flow is a necessary condition to support the constant level of the slice oxygenation. These data suggest that the oxygen supply of the brain slice strongly depends on experimental protocol and could modulate in vitro neuronal network excitability which should be taken into consideration when planning epilepsy-related studies.
