Stellate cells (SCs)
Entorhinal cortex (EC) is the interface between the neocortex and the hippocampus.
Information flows from the neocortex to the hippocampus through the superficial layers (II and III) of the EC. SCs are the most abundant cell type in layer II of the EC.
SCs are putative grid cells.

Subthreshold oscillations (STOs)
SCs develop rhythmic STOs at theta frequencies (8 – 12 Hz).
Spikes occur at the peaks of STOs but not at every cycle.
Interaction between two currents: h- and persistent sodium.
Single cell phenomenon
Depolarization increases from 1 to 3 (Adapted from Dickson et al., J. Neurophysiol., 2000)

SCs: Theta regime (background)
SCs have intrinsic biophysical properties that endow them with the ability to display rhythmic activity in the theta frequency regime (8 – 12 Hz)
Subthreshold oscillations (STOs): interaction between a persistent sodium and a hyperpolarization-activated (h-) current.
Spikes
Mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs): STOs interspersed with spikes

SCs – Hyperexcitable regime (this project)
SCs have intrinsic biophysical properties that endow them with the ability to display spiking activity in the “gamma” frequency regime (~60 Hz).
This time scale can be uncovered by phasic excitation.
The frequency regime depends on a combination of intrinsic and network properties.

SC dynamic structure
Nonlinearities and multiple time-scales in the subthreshold regime:
How are they created?
How do they depend on the intrinsic SC biophysical properties?
How do they interact with synaptic (excitatory and inhibitory) inputs?

Transition from theta to hyper-excitable (gamma) rhythmic activity
Experimental (in vitro) results:
There exist recurrent connections among SCs.
These connections are “similar” in normal (control) and epileptic cells.
Recurrent inhibitory circuits are reduced in epileptic cells as compared to normal (control) ones.

Summary
SCs have intrinsic biophysical properties that endow them with the ability to display rhythmic activity in the theta and “gamma” frequency regimes (nonlinearities and time scale separation)
In “normal” conditions SCs display theta rhythmic activity (STOs and MMOs.
Abrupt transitions resulting from recurrent excitation.
Theoretical predictions confirmed by dynamic clamp experiments (Tilman Kispersky)
