Identification of a direct GABAergic pallidocortical pathway in rodents.
Interaction between the basal ganglia and the cortex plays a critical role in a range of behaviors. Output from the basal ganglia to the cortex is thought to be relayed through the thalamus, but an intriguing alternative is that the basal ganglia may directly project to and communicate with the cortex. We explored an efferent projection from the globus pallidus externa (GPe), a key hub in the b...
متن کاملCholine and cholinergic neurons.
Mammalian neurons can synthesize choline by methylating phosphatidylethanolamine and hydrolyzing the resulting phosphatidylcholine. This process is stimulated by catecholamines. The phosphatidylethanolamine is synthesized in part from phosphatidylserine; hence the amino acids methionine (acting after conversion to S-adenosylmethionine) and serine can be the ultimate precursors of choline. Brain...
متن کاملCholinergic inhibition of neocortical pyramidal neurons.
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a central neurotransmitter critical for normal cognitive function. Here we show that transient muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation directly inhibits neocortical layer 5 pyramidal neurons. Using whole-cell and cell-attached recordings from neurons in slices of rat somatosensory cortex, we demonstrate that transient activation of M1-type muscarinic receptors induce...
متن کاملRegulation of cholinergic phenotype in developing neurons.
Specification of neurotransmitter phenotype is critical for neural circuit development and is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Recent findings in rat hypothalamus in vitro suggest the role of neurotransmitter glutamate in the regulation of cholinergic phenotype. Here we extended our previous studies on the mechanisms of glutamate-dependent regulation of cholinergic phenotypic prop...
متن کاملCholinergic inhibition of ventral midbrain dopamine neurons.
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are common throughout the CNS. The predominant subtypes in the brain are positively coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis and have been found to modulate multiple conductances. Muscarinic receptor activation is most often observed to be excitatory because of suppression of various potassium conductances. Here it is reported that three distinct effects of musc...
