Compared to rodents, inhibitory interneurons in the human neocortex exhibit high input excitability because of reduced passive ion leakage across their extracellular membrane. However, the regulation of intrinsic excitability by voltage-gated ion channels activated over a wide range of membrane potentials in human interneurons remains poorly understood. We performed whole-cell patch-clamp microelectrode recordings in mouse and human neocortical slices obtained from surgically resected non-pathological brain tissue finding that Kir channels control the electrical resistance of parvalbumin (Pvalb) neurons in an identical manner in the human and mouse. Molecular analyses revealed predominantly Kir3.1 and Kir3.2 channels in Pvalb neurons in both species. Using whole-cell recordings from synaptically connected neuron pairs and a computational model, we demonstrated that physiological Kir activation inhibits human Pvalb interneurons during postsynaptic potentials evoked by presynaptic neurogliaform cells. The similarity of Kir-mediated inhibition across species suggests that it is an archetypal property of Pvalb neurons.
