Bidirectional plasticity in striatonigral synapses: a switch to balance direct and indirect basal ganglia pathways.
There is no hypothesis to explain how direct and indirect basal ganglia (BG) pathways interact to reach a balance during the learning of motor procedures. Both pathways converge in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) carrying the result of striatal processing. Unfortunately, the mechanisms that regulate synaptic plasticity in striatonigral (direct pathway) synapses are not known. Here, w...
متن کاملMicrocircuitry of the direct and indirect pathways of the basal ganglia.
Our understanding of the organization of the basal ganglia has advanced markedly over the last 10 years, mainly due to increased knowledge of their anatomical, neurochemical and physiological organization. These developments have led to a unifying model of the functional organization of the basal ganglia in both health and disease. The hypothesis is based on the so-called "direct" and "indirect...
متن کاملAntagonistic but Not Symmetric Regulation of Primary Motor Cortex by Basal Ganglia Direct and Indirect Pathways
Motor cortex, basal ganglia (BG), and thalamus are arranged in a recurrent loop whose activity guides motor actions. In the dominant model of the function of the BG and their role in Parkinson's disease, direct (dSPNs) and indirect (iSPNs) striatal projection neurons are proposed to oppositely modulate cortical activity via BG outputs to thalamus. Here, we test this model by determining how str...
متن کاملDirect and indirect pathways of the basal ganglia: opponents or collaborators?
Imagine yourself walking down the street. The act of initiating the first step triggers an increased firing of some medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in the striatum. These MSNs are part of the direct pathway in the basal ganglia complex (for a review on the basal ganglia, see Parent and Hazrati, 1995), referred to as direct MSNs (dMSNs) henceforth. When you have finally reached your destination, dif...
متن کاملPreservation of the direct and indirect pathways in an in vitro preparation of the mouse basal ganglia.
We have developed a slice preparation of the mouse basal ganglia which contains portions of the striatum, external pallidum, subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra and the neocortex. This basal ganglia slice is unique in preserving functional direct and indirect connections between the striatum and the substantia nigra as well as interconnectivity between the globus pallidus and the subthalam...
