## Abstract An abnormal increase in the activity of neurons of the subthalamic nucleus is a key pathophysiological feature of Parkinson's disease. We sought to determine whether riluzole, a sodium channel inhibitor that interferes with glutamatergic neurotransmission, affects neuronal activity in t
Apomorphine-induced yawning was studied in male rats with bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the substantia nigra. Apomorphine 10, 20 and 50 lag/kg SC induced dose-dependent yawning in unoperated controls and animals with sham lesions. In the lesioned animals (in which the mean striatal dopamine
Intraventricular injection of 2 doses of 300 tzg of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into rats induced an increased reactivity to exogenous (non-painful) stimuli. This increased irritability lasted more than 4 months (the longest period studied) and consisted of crying, hissing, urination, defecation, sta
In order to define the role of dopamine receptors in the contralateral rotational behavior induced by caffeine in unilaterally 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats, we evaluated the influence of previous exposure (priming) to dopamine receptor agonists and the effect of dopamine receptor blockade on the
