## Abstract The pathophysiological changes in neural activity that characterize multiple system atrophy (MSA) are largely unknown. We recorded the activity of pallidal neurons in 3 patients with clinical and radiological features of MSA who underwent unilateral microelectrodeβguided pallidotomy for

The effect of carbachol on the spontaneous release of 3 H-GABA was investigated on rat globus pallidus (GP) slices. Carbachol dose-dependently enhanced the release of 3 H-GABA. The carbachol (5 3 10 24 M) induced 3 H-GABA release is mediated by muscarinic receptors since atropine (10 26 M), pirenzep
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous neurotransmitter that may mediate a decrease in sympathetic output to the periphery. This implication predicts that NO-producing neurons in the brain are activated in animals experiencing increased levels of sympathetic activity. To test this prediction, we subjected t
Experiments were carried out in urethane-an-anesthetized rats to examine the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on neuronal activity within the dorsolateral sector of the midbrain periaqueductal grey matter (PAG), an area which is rich in NO-synthesizing neurones. NADPH-dependent diaphorase histochemistry
Activities of spontaneously firing neurons in the globus pallidus of intact rats and rats that survived unilateral lesions of the nigrostriatal pathway for 3 days, 1 week, or 6-11 weeks were compared. No significant differences in neuronal firing rate, firing pattern, and number of cells per pass we
