In vivo measurement of somatodendritic release of dopamine in the ventral tegmental area.

30 Oct 2009 The ventral tegmental area (VTA), the locus of mesolimbic dopamine cell bodies, contains dopamine. Experiments in brain slices have demonstrated that VTA dopamine can be released by local electrical stimulation. Measurements with both push-pull ... Read more...

Anatomy and physiology of a set of low-frequency vibratory interneurons in a nonhearing ensiferan (Troglophilus neglectus, rhaphidophoridae).

18 Oct 2009 Vibratory interneurons were investigated in a primitive nonhearing ensiferan (orthopteran) species (Troglophilus neglectus, Rhaphidophoridae), using intracellular recording and staining technique. The study included 26 morphologically and/or ... Read more...

Microstimulation-induced inhibition as a tool to aid targeting the ventral border of the subthalamic nucleus.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The aim of the current study was to examine and compare the aftereffects of local high-frequency microstimulation through the recording electrode on the firing of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the substantia nigra pars ... Read more...
