The action of dopamine on neurones of the caudate nucleus

Open access
McLennan, H., York, D. H.·1967·The Journal of Physiology

Abstract

1. Dopamine applied iontophoretically to neurones of the caudate nucleus of cats caused excitation of some (9% of those encountered) and depression of others (60%). Some cells have been found affected both by dopamine and by acetylcholine. 2. The effects of dopamine could be prevented by the previous iontophoretic administration of phenoxybenzamine, but not by dichloroisopropylnoradrenaline. 3. Responses evoked in caudate neurones by electrical stimulation of substantia nigra were depressed by dopamine. No evidence for enhancement of the effects of nigral stimulation through the application of dopamine were detected. 4. Stimulation of nucleus centromedianus thalami depressed firing of caudate neurones. 5. The hypothesis that dopamine may act as an inhibitory synaptic transmitter within the caudate is put forward.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
