In the shell of the Acb, the dimensions of the dendritic tree of MSN ranged from 62 up to 375 ? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The dimensions of the extending recurrent axon collaterals of MSN ranged from 275 up to 575 ? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
So, both D1- and D2-like receptors appear to be present presynaptically and are thus positioned to modulate MSN synapses.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Here, using perforated patch-clamp recordings, we investigated the alterations in MSN intrinsic excitability induced by dopamine depletion. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As stated in the introduction, although the consequences of dopamine receptors activation on striatal neurons physiology have been the subject of numerous studies, the alterations of MSN intrinsic excitability resulting from dopamine depletion remain incompletely documented. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As same changes were detected in dopamine depletion, this strongly suggests a pivotal, if not exclusive, role of this current in the alterations in MSN intrinsic excitability observed in this condition. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This was not due to DA acting via other monoaminergic receptors [viz. [57]], as there were clear instances where norepinephrine and serotonin modulated MSN synaptic connections that showed modest DA modulation. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Presynaptic D2 autoreceptors on DA neuron terminals inhibit DA release [71], D2 heteroreceptors on corticostriatal terminals inhibit glutamatergic inputs [72], and presynaptic D1 and D2 heteroreceptors on MSN terminals modulate GABAergic IPSCs [present results, and Refs. [9,73]]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In postnatal nAcc cultures, we examined MSN-to-MSN synaptic connections and their modulation by DA. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
MSN activity is also altered by acute exposure to psychostimulants and other dopamine agonists (Tschanz et al., 1991; Haracz et al., 1993; Pederson et al., 1997; Rebec et al., 1997; West et al., 1997; White and Kalivas, 1998). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Moreover, a D2 receptor-mediated regulation of this current in MSN has been suggested previously [21], [22]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Our paired-pulse experiments provide evidence for presynaptic modulation of MSN-to-MSN connections in culture. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To examine DA modulation of individual MSN-to-MSN synapses, and to address the hypothesis that DA receptors show differential trafficking, we used postnatal cell culture to gain access to individual, identified MSN synapses. | |||||||||||||||

| |||||||||||||||
|
We have used inhibitors of PDE10A and quantitative measures of mRNA to demonstrate that PDE10A controls striatal gene expression by regulating MSN cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways. | |||||||||||||||
