title: [Effect of dopamine and met-enkephalin on the background and evoked spike activity of rat neostriatal neurons].
abstract: Extracellular recordings of 191 neostriatum neurons revealed the effects of ionophoretically applied dopamine, met-enkephalin and morphine on spontaneous and glutamate- and acetylcholine-evoked unit activity. Dopamine either depressed or enhanced the spontaneous and glutamate-evoked activities depending on the firing rate. Met-enkephalin depressed the spontaneous, glutamate- and acetylcholine evoked activities. These findings suggest that dopamine exerts a modulatory effect on glutamatergic synaptic neurotransmission in the rat neostriatum.
