nervous system
• alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate receptor responses in striatal neurons and pyramidal neurons isolated from prefrontal cortex are unaffected by dopamine D1 receptor agonist, SKF 81297
|
• the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents is significantly higher
• 10 uM quinpirole reduces the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents
|
• high-frequency stimulation of corticostriatal terminals fails to produce long term potentiation (LTP)
• bathing cells in a dopamine D1 like receptor agonist (SKF 38393) restores corticostriatal LTP
|
• the frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents in the presence of 1 uM tetrodotoxin is significantly higher
|
behavior/neurological
• mice are more sensitive to the acute locomotor activating effects of cocaine
