Striatal interneurones : chemical, physiological and morphological characterization

TL;DR: The discovery of cytochemical markers that are specific for each of the major classes of striatal interneurones, and the combination of this with intracellular recording and staining, has revealed the identities of interneerones and some of their functional characteristics in a way that could not have been imagined by the classical morphologists.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origins of two-state spontaneous membrane potential fluctuations of neostriatal spiny neurons

TL;DR: The results indicate that the event underlying the Up state in neostriatal spiny neurons is a maintained barrage of synaptic excitation, but that the membrane potential achieved during the Upstate in nestriatal Spiny cells is determined by dendritic potassium channels that clamp the membrane Potential at a level determined by their voltage sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity Patterns in a Model for the Subthalamopallidal Network of the Basal Ganglia

TL;DR: The results suggest that the subthalamopallidal circuit is capable both of correlated rhythmic activity and of irregular autonomous patterns of activity that block rhythmicity, and may be sufficient to explain the emergence of correlated oscillatory activity after destruction of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease and in animal models of parkinsonism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Move to the rhythm: oscillations in the subthalamic nucleus–external globus pallidus network

TL;DR: These recent findings provide further support for the view that the basal ganglia use both the pattern and the rate of neuronal activity to encode information.
