Parkinsonian Pattern Transduction by Gpi
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is hypothesised that Parkinson’s disease is explained as a change in the pattern of synchronisation of discharges between neurons within the subthalamo-pallidal-thalamo-cortical circuit. By simulating a single GPi neuron receiving non-synchronous and oscillatory inputs the conditions required for the generation of normal and Parkinsonian patterns are determined.

Dopamine agonist-induced dyskinesias are correlated to both firing pattern and frequency alterations of pallidal neurones in the MPTP-treated monkey.
Despite the importance and frequency of levodopa-induced dyskinesias, little is known about their causal mechanisms. In this study, electrophysiological single-unit recordings of the neuronal activity of the globus pallidus internalis (GPi), the main basal ganglia output structure, and the globus pallidus externalis (GPe) were recorded continuously in both normal and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-t...
متن کاملSignal transduction via glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins in T cells is inhibited by lowering cellular cholesterol.
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins can deliver costimulatory signals to lymphocytes, but the exact pathway of signal transduction involved is not yet characterized. GPI-anchored proteins are fixed to the cell surface solely by a phospholipid moiety and are clustered in distinct membrane domains that are formed by an unique lipid composition requiring cholesterol. To elucidate ...
متن کاملExtrastriatal D2-like receptors modulate basal ganglia pathways in normal and Parkinsonian monkeys.
According to traditional models of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical network of connections, dopamine exerts D2-like receptor (D2LR)-mediated effects through actions on striatal neurons that give rise to the "indirect" pathway, secondarily affecting the activity in the internal and external pallidal segments (GPi and GPe, respectively) and the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr). However, ac...
متن کاملDecoupling neuronal oscillations during subthalamic nucleus stimulation in the parkinsonian primate.
Subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation is a popular treatment for Parkinson's disease; however, its effect on neuronal activity is unclear. We performed simultaneous multi-electrode recordings in the STN and its targets, the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and externus (GPe) in the parkinsonian non-human primate during high frequency STN macro-stimulation. Our results indicate that in the parkins...
متن کاملTemporal and spatial alterations in GPi neuronal encoding might contribute to slow down movement in Parkinsonian monkeys.
Although widely investigated, the exact relationship between changes in basal ganglia neuronal activity and parkinsonian symptoms has not yet been deciphered. It has been proposed that bradykinesia (motor slowness) is related either to a modification of the activity of the globus pallidus internalis (GPi), the main output structure, or to a loss of spatial selectivity of the extrapyramidal moto...
