Abstract

During acute experiments on rats immobilized with d-tubocurarine, the effects were compared of microiontophoretically applied dopamine and dibutyryl cAMP on background and glutamate-induced spike activity of neostriatalneurons. The algorithm of the analysis of extracellularly recorded spike activity included the plotting of a graph of mean frequency, assessing its stationarity, and producing histograms of interspike intervals and also correlation function. During these experiments it was shown that dibutyryl cAMP imitates the inhibitory but not the activating effect of dopamine on the spontaneous and glutamate-induced spike activity of neostriatal neurons.
