title: [The reversibility of a blockade of corticofugal pulse trains to the neurons of the caudate nucleus in cats evoked by the neurotoxin MPTP].
abstract: In anesthetised cats, the number of the caudate nucleus neurons responding to a cortical stimulation with latency less than 8.0 ms, increased within 10-12 days after the MPTP administration and then gradually recovers by the 45th-54th day after the neurotoxin administration. Dopamine seems to exert a protecting-inhibiting effect on transmission of corticofugal glutamatergic impulses travelling towards the neostriatum neurons.
