The mechanism underlying dopamine D 1 receptor-mediated attenuation of glutamatergic
synaptic input to nucleus accumbens (NAcc) neurons was investigated in slices of rat forebrain…

The ability of serotonin to modulate GABA-mediated synaptic input to substantia nigra pars
reticulata (SNr) neurons was investigated with the use of whole-cell patch-clamp recording …

1. Whole‐cell patch clamp recordings were made from nucleus accumbens neurones in
slices of rat ventral forebrain. In the presence of picrotoxin (50 microM), the amplitude of 6‐cyano…

Dopamine, acting at a D 1 -like receptor, depresses the release of glutamate in the nucleus
accumbens (NAcc) in brain slices, thereby reducing the amplitude of the excitatory …

Beta frequency oscillations (10–35 Hz) in motor regions of cerebral cortex play an important
role in stabilising and suppressing unwanted movements, and become intensified during …

1 Whole‐cell patch clamp recordings were made from substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr)
neurones in rat midbrain slices. Monosynaptic IPSCs were evoked by electrical stimulation …

Glutamate (AMPA receptor‐mediated) excitatory postsynaptic potentials (epsps.), evoked by
electrical stimulation rostral to the recording site, were examined by intracellular …

… The conductance (G PO ) for each voltage step was calculated using the peak (non-inactivated)
leak-subtracted current, and normalized by dividing by V–E Cs to account for the driving force …

The presence of adenosine triphosphate-regulated potassium channels (K- ATPs) in midbrain
dopamine neurons is currently in dispute. This was investigated using whole-cell patch-…

The subthalamic nucleus (SThN) provides a glutamate mediated excitatory drive to several
other component nuclei of the basal ganglia, thereby significantly influencing locomotion and …
