Objective: 20 neurons were recorded by whole-cell patch clamp, which hippocampus neurons, membrane potential were observed.

Methods: Hippocampus slice of newborn SD rat brain, it was incubated at artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) one hour. The brain slice was perfused 1-2 ml/min whole-cell recording of was used by blind insertion.

Results: There is spontaneous discharge when neuron of hippocamus is quiescence, action potential about 40.96±6.9 mV .The change of membrane potential and potential value (157.54±31mV/min) were observed when oxygen was stopped and nitrogen was given. This time, if oxygen was recovered immediately, membrane potential could recovered and expressed reversibility impolarizable of membrane. If not, irrevesibility impolarizable of membrane potential was observed (146.2919mV/min).

Conclusion: Hippocampus neuron of newborn rat brain is very sensitive for hypoxia injury. The changes of membrane potential injury is in connexion with hypoxia.
