Reduced Cortical Pyramidal Neuron Membrane Excitability and Synaptic Function in Parkinsonian Mice and Their Restoration by L-Dopa Treatment: Indirect Mediation by Striatal Dopaminergic Activity

Published by MDPI

We previously established that striatal, but not cortical, dopaminergic activation stimulates movement, indicating that the crucial and original site of dopaminergic stimulation of motor function is the striatum, not the motor cortex. In the present study, we have further investigated the potential effects of the cortical and striatal dopaminergic activity on cortical pyramidal neuron physiology.… Read More
