Abstract

The effects of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionate (AMPA; 10(-3) M), N-methyl-D-aspartate (10(-3) M, in the absence of magnesium or presence of AMPA) and carbachol (10(-3) M) on the release of preloaded [3H]gamma-aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) from microdiscs of tissue punched out from sagittal brain slices in striosome- or matrix-enriched areas of the rat striatum have been compared. Although AMPA stimulated similarly the release of [3H]GABA in both striatal compartments, the release of [3H]GABA evoked by either N-methyl-D-aspartate (in the presence of AMPA) or carbachol was more pronounced in matrix- than in striosome-enriched areas. AMPA- and N-methyl-D-aspartate- (in the absence of magnesium) evoked responses were reduced but not abolished in the presence of tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M) in both compartments while the carbachol-evoked release of [3H]GABA was decreased by tetrodotoxin only in the matrix. The interruption of cholinergic transmission by the combined application of atropine (10(-5) M) and pempidine (10(-4) M) was without effect on the AMPA-evoked release of [3H]GABA, but it reduced the N-methyl-D-aspartate- (in the absence of magnesium or presence of AMPA) evoked release of [3H]GABA in both compartment...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.
