Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, leading to significant motor and non-motor symptoms. Beta oscillations in cortical areas are a pathognomonic sign. Here we ask whether these oscillations can be recorded in in vitro cortical tissue despite severing the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop. M1/M2 cortex of hemi parkinsonian mice (6-OHDA) was recorded with multielectrode arrays (MEAs). Spectral decomposition analysis shows a significantly augmented beta band power with respect to controls. The administration of L-DOPA diminished this exacerbated beta rhythm. This result suggests that plastic changes induced by dopamine (DA) depletion remain in isolated cortical tissue even when the complete circuit is no longer present. This finding brings the opportunity to test anti-parkinsonian drugs in vitro by quantifying cortical beta band power.
期刊介绍:
Neuroscience Letters is devoted to the rapid publication of short, high-quality papers of interest to the broad community of neuroscientists. Only papers which will make a significant addition to the literature in the field will be published. Papers in all areas of neuroscience - molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral and cognitive, as well as computational - will be considered for publication. Submission of laboratory investigations that shed light on disease mechanisms is encouraged. Special Issues, edited by Guest Editors to cover new and rapidly-moving areas, will include invited mini-reviews. Occasional mini-reviews in especially timely areas will be considered for publication, without invitation, outside of Special Issues; these un-solicited mini-reviews can be submitted without invitation but must be of very high quality. Clinical studies will also be published if they provide new information about organization or actions of the nervous system, or provide new insights into the neurobiology of disease. NSL does not publish case reports.
