dopaminergic activity in the medial prefrontal cortex modulates fear conditioning
the purpose of the present study was to determine the role of medial prefrontal cortex (mpfc) dopaminergic system in fear conditioning response considering individual differences. animals were initially counterbalanced and classified based on open field test, and then were given a single infusion of the dopamine agonist, amphetamine (amph) and antagonist, clozapine (clz) into the medial prefron...
متن کاملDopamine modulates temporal dynamics of feedforward inhibition in rat prefrontal cortex in vivo.
Midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons project to pyramidal cells and interneurons of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). At the microcircuit level, interneurons gate inputs to a network and regulate/pattern its outputs. Whereas several in vitro studies have examined the role of DA on PFC interneurons, few in vivo data are available. In this study, we show that DA influences the timing of interneuron firing. ...
متن کاملFocused attention modulates visual responses in the primate prefrontal cortex.
Several current models propose an important role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in attention. To test the effects of attention in PFC, we recorded from PFC neurons in monkeys performing a task in which they had to attend to one hemifield and wait for a single stimulus that matched a previously presented cue. Neurons exhibited a slight decrease in their initial response and an enhanced activity ...
متن کاملDopamine inhibition of evoked IPSCs in rat prefrontal cortex.
Rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) receives substantial dopamine (DA) input. This DA innervation appears critical for modulation of PFC cognitive functions. Clinical and experimental studies have also implicated DA in the pathogenesis of a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders including epilepsy and schizophrenia. However, the actions of DA at the cellular level are incompletely understood....
متن کاملDopamine enhances spatiotemporal spread of activity in rat prefrontal cortex.
Dopaminergic modulation of prefrontal cortex (PFC) is important for neuronal integration in this brain region known to be involved in cognition and working memory. Because of the complexity and heterogeneity of the effect of dopamine on synaptic transmission across layers of the neocortex, dopamine's net effect on local circuits in PFC is difficult to predict. We have combined whole cell patch-...
