Rett syndrome (RTT) patients show abnormal developmental trajectories including loss of language and repetitive hand movements but also have signs of cortical hyperexcitability such as seizures. RTT is predominantly caused by mutations inMECP2and can be modelled in vitro using human stem cell-derived neurons.MECP2null excitatory neurons are smaller in soma size and have reduced synaptic connectivity but are also hyperexcitable, due to higher input resistance, which increases the chance to evoke action potentials with a given depolarized current. Few studies examine how single neuron activity integrates into neuronal networks during human development. Paradoxically, networks ofMECP2null neurons show a decrease in the frequency of bursting patterns consistent with synaptic hypoconnectivity, but no hyperexcitable network events have been reported. Here, we show thatMECP2null neurons have an increase in the frequency of a network event described as reverberating super bursts (RSBs) relative to isogenic controls. RSBs can be mistakenly called as a single long duration burst by standard burst detection algorithms. However, close examination revealed an initial large amplitude network burst followed by high frequency repetitive low amplitude mini-bursts. Using a custom burst detection algorithm, we unfolded the multi-burst structure of RSBs revealing thatMECP2null networks increased the total number of bursts relative to isogenic controls. Application of the Ca2+chelator EGTA-AM selectively eliminated RSBs and rescued the network burst phenotype relative to the isogenic controls. Our results indicate that during early development,MECP2null neurons are hyperexcitable and produce hyperexcitable networks. This may predispose them to the emergence of hyper-synchronic states that potentially translate into seizures. Network hyperexcitability is dependent on asynchronous neurotransmitter release driven by pre-synaptic Ca2+and can be rescued by EGTA-AM to restore typical network dynamics.HIGHLIGHTSReverberating super-bursts (RSBs) follow a stereotypic form of a large initial network burst followed by several smaller amplitude high-frequency mini-bursts.RSBs occur more often inMECP2null excitatory networks.MECP2null excitatory networks with increased RSBs show a hyperexcitable network burst phenotype relative to isogenic controls.The calcium chelator, EGTA-AM, decreases RSBs and rescues the dynamics ofMECP2null hyperexcitable networks.
