Prefrontal cortex regulates burst firing and transmitter release in rat mesolimbic dopamine neurons studied in vivo.

TL;DR: This selective modulation of the dynamic activity of mesolimbic dopamine neurons by the prefrontal cortex might be important in motivation, learning and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tonic Activation of NMDA Receptors Causes Spontaneous Burst Discharge of Rat Midbrain Dopamine Neurons In Vivo

TL;DR: The data suggest that burst‐firing of midbrain dopamine neurons in vivo results from the tonic activation of NMDA receptors by endogenous excitatory amino acids, a major physiological substrate in the control of the dopamine level in target areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of high frequency stimulation of subthalamic nucleus on extracellular glutamate and GABA in substantia nigra and globus pallidus in the normal rat

TL;DR: The results show that high frequency stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus induces a significant increase of extracellular glutamate levels in the ipsilateral globus pallidus and substantia nigra while GABA was augmented only in the substantia Nigra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Afferent projections to the rat locus coeruleus demonstrated by retrograde and anterograde tracing with cholera-toxin B subunit and Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to examine the afferents to the rat locus coeruleus by means of retrograde and anterograde tracing experiments using cholera-toxin B subunit and phaseolus leucoagglutinin to indicate that the area surrounding the locus coercedus is divided into individual nuclei with distinctAfferents.
