Abstract

1. Chlorisondamine (CHL), a bisquaternary amine, produces a remarkably long-lasting blockade of central responses to nicotine. The mechanism underlying this blockade is not known. The main aim of this study was to test for possible accumulation of [3H]-CHL in rat brain during the period of chronic blockade. 2. Rats received CHL, either systemically (10 mg kg-1) or centrally (10 micrograms i.c.v.). Seven days later, striatal synaptosomes prepared from these animals were tested for nicotine-induced [3H]-dopamine release. This experiment showed that i.c.v. administration of CHL was as effective as systemic administration in producing ex vivo blockade of central nicotinic receptors. 3. Rats received bilateral i.c.v. infusions of [3H]-CHL (10 micrograms) and radioactivity was subsequently quantified in dissected cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus, midbrain and cerebellum. Radiolabel was detected at all three survival times (1, 7, and 21 days). Regional heterogeneity was apparent at 7 and 21 days survival. Radiolabel was almost exclusively confined to the insoluble subcellular fraction in all areas sampled. 4. The anatomical distribution of radiolabel was also visualized in brain sections. Rats received bilateral i.c.v. infusions...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
