Electrophysiological properties of striatal neurons in the dopamine-intact and Parkinsonian brain

Abstract:

The striatum is the major input structure of the basal ganglia, and is composed of two major populations of spiny projection neurons (MSNs), which give rise to the socalled direct and indirect pathways, and several types of interneuron. Dopaminergic inputs to striatum are critical for its proper function. Indeed, loss of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinsonism leads to motor disturbances, grossly disturbs striatal activity, and is associated with the emergence of excessively-synchronized netw...
