Preservation of global synaptic excitatory to inhibitory ratio during long postmortem intervals.


ABSTRACT: The study of postsynaptic excitation to inhibition (E/I ratio) imbalances in human brain diseases, is a highly relevant functional measurement poorly investigated due to postmortem degradation of synaptic receptors. We show that near-simultaneous recording of microtransplanted synaptic receptors after simulated morgue conditions allows the determination of the postsynaptic E/I ratio for at least 120?h after death, expanding the availability and use of human diseased tissue stored in brain banks.
