1. We studied the frequency responses of neurons in the nucleus ovoidalis (OV), the principal thalamic auditory relay nucleus of the chicken, in the subthreshold range of membrane potentials. The frequency response is the impedance amplitude profile evident in the voltage response to a broadband stimulus. The stimulus was a deterministic periodic current input of small amplitude, sweeping through a specified frequency range. We used whole-cell, tight-seal recording techniques in slices to study the voltage responses and membrane properties in current and voltage clamp. 2. Generally, low-frequency resonant humps with peak impedances of approximately 6 Hz characterized the frequency responses of OV neurons. This resonance was the principal determinant for frequency selectivity in the majority of OV neurons expressing only a tonic mode of firing. 3. The 6-Hz resonance was voltage dependent and most distinct where the activation ranges of a hyperpolarization activated inward current (IH) and a persistent Na+ current tend to overlap. The potential range for optimal resonance often included the resting potential. 4. Application of the Na+ current antagonist, tetrodotoxin, blocked the persistent Na+ current and most of the resonant hump at depolarized levels but did not affect the resonant peak along the frequency axis. Thus the persistent Na+ current may serve to amplify the resonance. 5. Extracellular application of Cs+, but not Ba2+, blocked a voltage sag during pulsed hyperpolarization as well as the IH current. Application of Cs+ also eliminated the 6-Hz resonance. An IH seems, therefore, instrumental for the resonance. 6. A minority of neurons that expressed low-threshold Ca2+ spikes and burst firing at hyperpolarized states displayed voltage oscillations at 2-4 Hz, spontaneously or in response to pulsatile stimuli. Application of Ni2+ blocked the oscillations and the low-threshold spikes, presumably produced by a T-type Ca2+ current. The resonance at 6 Hz, however, was only slightly affected by Ni2+. A T-type current, therefore, is critical for the 2- to 4-Hz oscillations. 7. Membrane resonance may dominate the power spectrum of subthreshold potential fluctuations. The resonance demonstrated in vitro may be stabilized by experimental procedures; its frequency may be different and more variable in vivo. Resonances in thalamic neurons may play a role in auditory signal processing in birds.
