Changes in ChI spontaneous firing frequency induced by DA depletion followed by chronic L-DOPA treatment.

(A) DA lesion and chronic L-DOPA treatment paradigm. 3–4 weeks after unilateral 6-OHDA lesion, mice were randomly divided into two groups to receive either saline or L-DOPA. Experimental groups …

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
Expression of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in 6-OHDA-lesioned mice.

(A) All 6-OHDA-lesioned mice developed contralateral front paw stepping deficits, p<0.0001 vs. 50% for both groups, Wilcoxon signed rank test. There was no difference in stepping deficit between the …

Figure 1—figure supplement 2
Burst-pause activity in ChIs.

The number and duration of bursts and pauses were quantitated using the robust Gaussian surprise method. (A–F) Firing patterns of ChIs from sham (n = 83 neurons/26 mice), 6-OHDA (n = 81 neurons/29 …

Figure 1—figure supplement 3
Basic electrophysiological characteristics in ChIs from control, 6-OHDA, and chronic LD mice.

(A) Voltage-current dependence, (B) resting membrane potential, (C) input resistance, (D) membrane capacitance and (F) rheobase were unchanged in 6-OHDA and chronic-LD groups. (E) Ramp protocol for …

Morphological parameters and synaptic inputs in ChIs from control, 6-OHDA lesioned and chronic LD mice.

(A–G) Sholl analysis of ChI morphology. Cells were filled with biocytin during physiological recordings, fixed, and imaged for biocytin labeling by confocal microscopy. (A) Representative maximum …

HCN-mediated currents are decreased by 6-OHDA lesion.

(A) Representative perforated-patch recordings of sAP from sham, 6-OHDA and +chronic-LD groups. Dotted line represents a threshold potential, which was similar between the groups. Note the markedly …

Changes in medium and slow afterhyperpolarization (AHP) currents.

(A and C) Representative voltage-clamp recording of (A) Ba2+-sensitive and (C) apamin-sensitive AHP currents before and after drug application (upper), and corresponding voltage protocols (lower). (B

Partial inhibition of HCN and SK channels is sufficient to mimic changes in ChI activity after lesion and chronic L-DOPA treatment.

(A) Proposed changes in HCN and SK currents in ChIs from different treatment groups and their effect on spontaneous firing rates (+). (B) Dependence of Ih density (as measured on Figure 3E) on …
