Dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra: Differential response to bromocriptine
Copyright policy )Dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra: Differential response to bromocriptine
Bromocriptine reduces the spontaneous firing rate of neurons in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra but does not change the electrical activity of the neurons located in the pars reticulata. On the other hand, bromocriptine induces contralateral circling behaviour in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine nigral lesion. This increased motor activity follows an initial period of hypomotility. The decrease of the neuronal firing rate in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra coincides with the hypomotility observed in the lesioned rats.
