摘要 | Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). In spite of proven therapeutic success, the mechanism underlying the benefits of DBS has not been resolved. A multiple-channel single-unit recording technique was used in the present study to investigate basal ganglia (BG) neural responses during behaviorally effective DBS of the STN in a rat model of PD. Rats underwent unilateral dopamine (DA) depletion by injection of 6-hydroxyDA (6-OHDA) into one side of the medial forebrain bundle and subsequently developed a partial akinesia, which was assessed during the treadmill locomotion task. High frequency stimulation (HFS) of the STN restored normal treadmill locomotion behavior. Simultaneous recording of single unit activity in the striatum (STR), globus pallidus (GP), substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), and STN revealed a variety of neural responses during behaviorally effective HFS of the STN. Predominant inhibitory responses appeared in the STN stimulation site. Nearly equal numbers of excitatory and inhibitory responses were found in the GP and SNr, whereas more rebound excitatory responses were found in the STR. Mean firing rate did not change significantly in the STR, GP, and SNr, but significantly decreased in both sides of STN during DBS. A decrease in firing rate in the contralateral side of STN provides neural substrate for the clinical observation that unilateral DBS produces bilateral benefits in patients with PD. In addition to the firing rate changes, a decrease in burst firing was observed in the GP and STN. The present study indicates that DBS induces complex modulations of the BG circuit and further suggests that BG network reorganization, rather than a simple excitation or inhibition, may underlie the therapeutic effects of DBS in patients with PD.; Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD).
