Summary

This study aims to determine whether the regulation of extracellular glutamate is altered during aging and its possible consequences on synaptic transmission and plasticity. A decrease in the expression of the glial glutamate transporters GLAST and GLT‐1 and reduced glutamate uptake occur in the aged (24–27 months) Sprague–Dawley rat hippocampus. Glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic potentials recorded extracellularly in ex vivo hippocampal slices from adult (3–5 months) and aged rats are depressed by DL‐TBOA, an inhibitor of glutamate transporter activity, in an N‐Methyl‐d‐Aspartate (NMDA)‐receptor‐dependent manner. In aged but not in young rats, part of the depressing effect of DL‐TBOA also involves metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluRs) activation as it is significantly reduced by the specific mGluR antagonist d‐methyl‐4‐carboxy‐phenylglycine (MCPG). The paired‐pulse facilitation ratio, a functional index of glutamate release, is reduced by MCPG in aged slices to a level comparable to that in young rats both under control conditions and after being enhanced by DL‐TBOA. These results suggest that the age‐associated glutamate uptake deficiency favors presynaptic mGluR activation that lowers glutamate release. In parallel, 2 Hz‐induced long‐term depression is significantly decreased in aged animals and is fully restored by MCPG. All these data indicate a facilitated activation of extrasynaptic NMDAR and mGluRs in aged rats, possibly because of an altered distribution of glutamate in the extrasynaptic space. This in turn affects synaptic transmission and plasticity within the aged hippocampal CA1 network.
