✦ Synopsis


Acute administration of alprazolam causes a dose-dependent slowing of the spontaneous discharge of cerebellar Purkinje neurons. This effect is reversed by treatment with propran-0101. There is also significantly less slowing in animals in which cerebellar neuronal circuitry has been destroyed by pretreatment with 6-hydroxydopamine. These data suggest that some of the depressant effects of alpratofam may be mediated by an interaction with norepinephrine.

As a prerequisite to pharmacological analysis of the excitatory effects of serotonin (5-HT) on piriform pyramidal cells and interneurons, this study first examined the physiological characteristics of these two cell types. Intracellular recordings confirmed that the subpopulation of 5-HT-activated c
