Local application of dopamine inhibits pyramidal tract neuron activity in the rodent motor cortex.
Cortical neurons respond in a variety of ways to locally applied dopamine, perhaps because of the activation of different receptors within or among subpopulations of cells. This study was conducted to assess the effects of dopamine and the receptor subtypes that mediate the responses of a specific population of neurons, the pyramidal tract neurons (PTNs) in the rodent motor cortex. The specific...
متن کاملDopamine control of pyramidal neuron activity in the primary motor cortex via D2 receptors
The primary motor cortex (M1) is involved in fine voluntary movements control. Previous studies have shown the existence of a dopamine (DA) innervation in M1 of rats and monkeys that could directly modulate M1 neuronal activity. However, none of these studies have described the precise distribution of DA terminals within M1 functional region nor have quantified the density of this innervation. ...
متن کاملDopaminergic modulation of transcallosal activity of cat motor cortical neurons.
The effects of dopamine (DA) and its antagonists on the transcallosal activity of pyramidal tract neurons (PTNs) and non-PTNs in the anesthetized cat motor cortex were studied with iontophoretic applications; dopamine, SCH 23390 (D1 antagonist), sulpiride (D2 antagonist) and haloperidol. Neuronal activity was recorded with a multi-barreled glass microelectrode. Transcallosal neuronal activity w...
متن کاملRole of GABAA inhibition in modulation of pyramidal tract neuron activity during postural corrections
In a previous study we demonstrated that the activity of pyramidal tract neurons (PTNs) of the motor cortex is modulated in relation to postural corrections evoked by periodical tilts of the animal. The modulation included an increase in activity in one phase of the tilt cycle and a decrease in the other phase. It is known that the motor cortex contains a large population of inhibitory GABAergi...
متن کاملMicroinfusion of Bupropion Inhibits Putative GABAergic Neuronal Activity of the Ventral Tegmental Area
Introduction: The most common interpretation for the mechanisms of antidepression is the increase of the brain monoamine levels such as dopamine (DA). The increase of DA can reduce depression but it can also decrease the monoamine release because of autoreceptor inhibition. Although bupropion can decrease the dopamine release, there is evidence about stimulatory effects of chronic application o...
