Impact of oligodendrocyte secreted factors on hippocampal GABAergic neurons: an electrophysiological and transcriptomic study

In the present work, we gain insight into the impact of oligodendrocyte secreted factors on hippocampal GABAergic neuron physiology, and performed patch-clamp recordings followed by single-cell RNA sequencing of neurons. Our results demonstrate that the GABAergic neuron excitability is influenced by glial cells and oligodendrocyte-secreted factors. Moreover, we show specific ion channels alterations and find a correlation with electrophysiological parameters suggesting possible mechanisms for the OCM-induced regulation of neuronal function.
