Functional Autapses Form in Striatal Parvalbumin Interneurons but not Medium Spiny Projection Neurons

Autapses selectively form in specific cell types in many brain regions.Previous studies have also found puta-tive autapses in principal spiny projection neurons(SPNs)in the striatum.However,it remains unclear whether these neurons indeed form physiologically functional autapses.We applied whole-cell recording in striatal slices and iden-tified autaptic cells by the occurrence of prolonged asyn-chronous release(AR)of neurotransmitters after bursts of high-frequency action potentials(APs).Surprisingly,we found no autaptic AR in SPNs,even in the presence of Sr2+.However,robust autaptic AR was recorded in parvalbumin(PV)-expressing neurons.The autaptic responses were medi-ated by GABAA receptors and their strength was dependent on AP frequency and number.Further computer simulations suggest that autapses regulate spiking activity in PV cells by providing self-inhibition and thus shape network oscilla-tions.Together,our results indicate that PV neurons,but not SPNs,form functional autapses,which may play important roles in striatal functions.
