Electrophysiological studies, using chloral hydrate-anesthetized rats, were undertaken to determine whether hippocampal pyramidal neurons, receiving input from the medial septal nucleus, were affected by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) derived from the dorsal raphe nucleus. The pyramidal neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus were classified into short- and long-latency neurons, based on their response to stimulation of the medial septal nucleus. Microiontophoretically applied atropine inhibited the generation of spikes upon stimulation of the medial septal nucleus in short-latency neurons, but had no effect on long-latency neurons. In the short-latency neurons, the stimulation-induced spikes of the medial septal nucleus were inhibited by conditioning stimuli applied to the dorsal raphe nucleus and iontophoretic application of 5-HT and the 5-HT1A agonists, SM-3997 (3aα,4β,7β,7aα-hexahydro-2-(4-(4-(2-pyrimidinyl)-1-piperazinyl)-butyl)-4,7-methano-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione dihydrogen citrate) and 8-OH-DPAT (8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin). The conditioning effect of the dorsal raphe nucleus was antagonized by methysergide. However, in the long-latency neurons, the spikes elicited by stimulation of the medial septal nucleus were not affected by the conditioning stimulation of the dorsal raphe nucleus, or iontophoretically applied 5-HT. These results indicate that 5-HT, originating in the dorsal raphe nucleus inhibited hippocampal pyramidal neurons receiving cholinergic input from the medial septal nucleus, but not those receiving non-cholinergic input from the medial septal nucleus. The drug SM-3997 inhibited the activity of hippocampal pyramidal neurons, that receive excitatory cholinergic input from the medial septal nucleus by acting on 5-HT1A receptors.
