Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory effects of ventral tegmental area stimulation on the activity of prefrontal cortical neurons: evidence for the involvement of both dopaminergic and GABAergic components.
TL;DR: The present results suggest that: (1) the dopamine-induced inhibition of prefrontal cortex neurons could involve cortical GABAergic interneurones; (2) the non-dopaminergic mesocortical system exerts also an inhibitory influence on prefrontal cortical cells and appears to be GABAergic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of noxious tail pinch on the discharge rate of mesocortical and mesolimbic dopamine neurons: selective activation of the mesocortical system.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that noxious tail pinch selectively influences the firing rate of mesocortical and mesolimbic dopamine neurons in ketamine-anesthetized rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effects of ascending neurons containing dopamine and noradrenaline in the control of spontaneous activity and of evoked responses in the rat prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: Results indicate that the dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems exert a completely distinct control of information transfer in the medial prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of General Anesthetics on Intercellular Communications Mediated by Gap Junctions between Astrocytes in Primary Culture
TL;DR: The results indicate that general anesthetics differentially affect GJ permeability in cultured astrocytes, and this uncoupling effect (closure of gap junctions) may contribute to the mechanisms of action of some anesthetic agents at the level of the CNS by altering astroCyte communication.
Book ChapterDOI
Influence of the ascending monoaminergic systems on the activity of the rat prefrontal cortex.
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the influence of the ascending monoaminergic systems on the activity of the rat prefrontal cortex (PFC), which has a determining influence in the regulation of emotional states, the control of motor activity, and in cognitive processes, such as representational memory.
