37. The yield of good neurons achieved with dissociation preparations drops off significantly even between the early neonatal period and 50 days of age [J. R. Huguenard, O. P. Hamill, D. A. Prince, J. Neurophysiol. 59, 778 (1988)]. In our preliminary studies, the yield of acutely dissociated neurons from hippocampi of aged rats was extremely sparse, which could introduce a potential sampling bias because the aged neurons harvested for recording might not be representative.

44. 2+. With gentle shaking of the cup, the cell layers begin to open ("unzip") and reveal hippocampal somata. The dissociation medium is then exchanged for the recording solution.
45. O. Thibault, M. L. Mazzanti, E. M. Blalock, N. M. Porter, P. W. Landfield, J. Neurosci. Methods 59, 77 (1995). Many healthy-appearing neuronal somata were exposed successfully in each preparation, with no differences in the rate of success or obvious differences in morphology among age groups. However, obtaining a high-resistance seal on floating neurons is time consuming. One preparation was run in 1 day, with average yields of neurons that met recording criteria of 1.5, 1.9, and 1.9 neurons per preparation from the young adult, mid-aged, and aged groups, respectively. The absence of a difference in yield suggested that sampling bias was not a factor. Patch recordings that met criteria for good quality (a seal > 15 gigohm and a stable baseline) were successfully obtained from 79 neurons obtained from 24 young adult (3 to 6 months old), 10 mid-aged (12 to 14 months old), and 13 aged (23 to 26 months old) male F344 rats from the National Institute on Aging colony. Young adult animal preparations were interspersed with those from mid-aged and aged animals throughout the studies to ensure stability of the results over time. Partial dissociation methods were highly similar to those described in (11), although we used a slightly higher pronase concentration (2,2 mg) and a thermolysin dilution (50%) about midway through the enzymatic procedure. All experiments were performed in accordance with approved institutional animal care guidelines.

57. 2, 90 mM choline chloride, 10 mM tetraethylammonium (TEA), 10 mM Hepes, and 500 nM Bay K 8644. The pH was 7.3 for all solutions. If necessary, osmolarity was adjusted with sucrose to 300 mosM for the bath and 290 mosM for the pipette solution. We accomplished leak subtraction off-line by averaging 10 to 15 recorded leak currents of opposite polarity (same magnitude) and adding them to the records with channel openings.

59. max in each age group was as follows: young adult, 0.31 ± 0.03; mid-aged, 0.30 ± 0.06; and aged, 0.31 ± 0.03. Because a value of i at + 10 mV was not available for each patch, we used the mean value of i at + 10 mV for each group (Fig. 3A). The value of i did not differ at any voltage as a function of aging (Fig. 3A).
60. max in each age group was as follows: young adult, 0.31 ± 0.03; mid-aged, 0.30 ± 0.06; and aged, 0.31 ± 0.03. Because a value of i at + 10 mV was not available for each patch, we used the mean value of i at + 10 mV for each group (Fig. 3A). The value of i did not differ at any voltage as a function of aging (Fig. 3A).
61. Patch area (a) is inversely correlated with pipette resistance (R) according to the relation a = 12.6(1/R + 0.018) [B. Sakmann and E. Neher, in Single Channel Recordings, B. Sakmann and E. Neher, Eds. (Plenum, New York, 1983), pp. 37-51]. We carefully monitored patches for visible membrane in the pipette tip and for unusual suction durations. All patches for which extensive membrane (other than the small omega-shaped dome) was visible in the pipette tip or that required inordinately long suction for a seal were excluded from the study. There were relatively few of these, with a similar incidence in each group, and nearly all were excluded, in any case, by the criterion of a minimum seal resistance of 15 gigohm. In general, the suction time to seal was at least as rapid in the aged group as in the others, as indicated by the relatively high yield in this group (12).
62. To determine whether altered sensitivity to Bay K 8644 could account for aspects of these changes, we also measured the mean channel open time (14) during the step to -30 mV in patches used for the I- V analysis (Fig. 2B) and at -70 mV during the repolarization period (ROs) after steps to +10 mV in all patches in which ROs were present. In these multichannel patches, open time was most accurately measured at -30 mV and at -70 mV, when there were few simultaneous openings. The mean ± SEM values for open time at -30 mV were: young adult, 6.5 ± 1.4 ms; mid-aged, 6.5 ± 1.5 ms; and aged, 5.7 ± 0.8 ms; and at -70 mV (ROs) were: young adult, 5.5 ± 0.6 ms; mid-aged, 5.0 ± 0.5 ms; and aged, 5.7 ± 0.7 ms. These values do not differ statistically, indicating that Bay K 8644 affected the different age groups similarly. This conclusion is further supported by the lack of age difference in voltage dependence (Fig. 2B), because a shift in voltage dependence is also a hallmark of DHP agonists (14).

Briefly, 10 aged animals were trained in a Morris water maze to find a submerged platform, according to well-established procedures. Animals were given four trials a day, each from a different starting point, to find a consistently located platform. Training was for eight consecutive days. Acquisition latencies were averaged for each day and animals were ranked for their latency performance on the last 3 days of acquisition training. All behavioral studies were completed at least 3 weeks before recording began.
