The results of the present study confirm these observations in showing that in the core of the Acb axons of labeled MSN may enter and terminate in a nearby patch. | |||||||||||||||

|
5 subunit is more expressed in the D2- than in the D1-MSNs (Ade et al., 2008). | |||||||||||||||

|
Figure 4 shows that a similar percentage of the corticostriatal response was enhanced in both neuronal classes during L655-708: ca. 37% and 35% for D1-SP+ and D2-ENK+ MSNs, respectively (n? | |||||||||||||||

|
Bicuculline actions in D2-ENK+ MSNs can be explained by the distinct and higher dendritic excitability present in these neurons (Galarraga et al., 1997; Day et al., 2008): even when inhibition is also depolarizing, it has the role of restraining stronger depolarizing intrinsic currents (shunting inhibition) (Bartos et al., 2007). | |||||||||||||||

|
Based on work with bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic mice, here it is shown that corticostriatal responses in D1- and D2-receptor expressing MSNs (D1- and D2-MSNs) are radically different so as to establish an electrophysiological footprint that readily differentiates between them. | |||||||||||||||

|
It must be emphasized, however, that intercompartmental connections on the basis of MSN projections are scarce and intercompartmental connections might be more prominent for interneurons with long axon collaterals, such as cholinergic (Meredith et al. 1989; Kawaguchi 1993) and somatostatin interneurons (Chesselet and Graybiel 1986). | |||||||||||||||

|
Principally, three patterns were distinguished: (1) MSN with a distribution of axon collaterals largely falling within the space of the dendritic distribution (full overlap); (2) MSN with axonal collaterals extending beyond the reaches of the dendritic arborizations, but with a considerable degree of overlap (partial overlap); (3) MSN with recurrent axon collaterals occupying a 3D-space that showed no or only minimal overlap with the dendrites of the same neuron (no overlap). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Whether MSN with longer ranging axon collaterals exist within the Acb shell remains uncertain; the present sample of juxtacellulary filled neurons does not include neurons of that category. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||

An example of an MSN located in the matrix compartment with a dorsalmedial to ventrallateral dendritic orientation is illustrated in Fig. 4. | |||||||||||||||

The red dots represent MSN with a dorsal-medial to ventral-lateral orientation (again schematically indicated with the line through the dot). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Indications for patch-matrix communication on the basis of axon collaterals of the MSN projection neurons have been very sparse until now. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
However, the present study extends these observations by showing that MSN in either of these two larger subregions of the Acb, i.e., the shell and core, likewise retain their dendrites within the subregion in which the cell body resides. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Moreover, the slope of the ramp potential evoked by a subthreshold depolarizing current pulse was significantly higher for MSN in 6-OHDA lesioned animals (0.021±0.0023 mV/ms, n? | |||||||||||||||

The slope of the ramp potential was significantly higher for MSN in dopamine-depleted animals (0.023±0.003 mV/ms, n? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The evaluation of the slope factor of the linear part of stimulation-EPSP slope plots was used as a parameter of the strength of the excitatory fiber MSN synapse (Fig. 6C, Da). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Moreover, this first direct demonstration of the involvement of IA regulation in dopamine depletion strongly emphasizes the importance of this current in MSN intrinsic excitability. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Nonetheless, we focused on autaptic responses, because they provided access to single identified MSN-to-MSN synapses. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Since DA agonists produced at most a reduction to 50% inhibition of control GABAergic IPSCs (see previous section), while some varicosities showed arrest of FM1-43 destaining (0% of control), this suggests that a subset of MSN varicosities express DA receptors that may shut down release. | |||||||||||||||
