چکیده

Although normal dopaminergic tone has been shown to be essential for the induction of cortico-striatal and mesolimbic theta oscillatory activity, the influence of norepinephrine on these brain networks remains relatively unknown. To address this question, we simultaneously recorded local field potentials and single-neuron activity across 10 interconnected brain areas (ventral striatum, frontal association cortex, hippocampus, primary motor cortex, orbital frontal cortex, prelimbic cortex, dorsal lateral striatum, medial dorsal nucleus of thalamus, substantia nigra pars reticularis, and ventral tegmental area) in a combined genetically and pharmacologically induced mouse model of hyponoradrenergia. Our results show that norepinephrine (NE) depletion induces a novel state in male mice characterized by a profound disruption of coherence across multiple cortico-striatal circuits and an increase in mesolimbic cross-structural coherence. Moreover, this brain state is accompanied by a complex behavioral phenotype consisting of transient hyperactivity, stereotypic behaviors, and an acute 12-fold increase in grooming. Notably, treatment with a norepinephrine precursors (l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine at 100 mg/kg or l-threo-dihydroxyphenylserine at 5 mg/kg) or a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (fluoxetine at 20 mg/kg) attenuates the abnormal behaviors and selectively reverses the circuit changes observed in NE-depleted mice. Together, our results demonstrate that norepinephrine modulates the dynamic tuning of coherence across cortico-striato-thalamic circuits, and they suggest that changes in coherence across these circuits mediate the abnormal generation of hyperactivity and repetitive behaviors.

Altered structural connectivity of cortico-striato-pallido-thalamic networks in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a childhood-onset syndrome characterized by the presence and persistence of motor and vocal tics. A dysfunction of cortico-striato-pallido-thalamo-cortical networks in this syndrome has been supported by convergent data from neuro-pathological, electrophysiological as well as structural and functional neuroimaging studies. Here, we addressed the question of str...

A Computational Model of Cortico-Striato-Thalamic Circuits in Goal-Directed Behaviour

A connectionist model of cortico-striato-thalamic loops unifying learning and action selection is proposed. The aim in proposing the connectionist model is to develop a simple model revealing the mechanisms behind the cognitive process of goal directed behaviour rather than merely obtaining a model of neural structures. In the proposed connectionist model, the action selection is realized by a ...

Thalamic deactivation during early implicit sequence learning: a functional MRI study.

Previous research has implicated the striatum in implicit sequence learning. However, imaging findings have been inconsistent with regard to activity within the thalamus during performance of such tasks. Contemporary models of cortico-striato-thalamic circuitry suggest opposing influences on thalamic activity; suppression of thalamic activity is mediated by the indirect pathway and enhancement ...

Dystonia after striatopallidal and thalamic stroke: clinicoradiological correlations and pathophysiological mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To establish the pathophysiological mechanisms of striatopallidal and thalamic dystonia. METHODS Five patients from among 26 who presented (between March 1987 and July 1996) with focal dystonia, segmental dystonia, or hemidystonia caused by a single localised vascular lesion, were selected. Patients with lesions with indefinite boundaries, and diffuse, or multiple, or large brain le...
