Abstract
⺠NMDA evokes K-ATP currents in rat subthalamic nucleus (STN) neurons. ⺠STN neurons were recorded in slices from rats treated with 6-OHDA. ⺠NMDA evoked more outward current in STN neurons from dopamine-depleted rats. ⺠NMDA inhibited firing rate in slices from 6-OHDA-treated but not normal rats. ⺠We conclude that dopamine deficiency up-regulates functional K-ATP expression.
