摘要

The substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) is thought to act as a seizure-gating mechanism in kindling and other epilepsy models. We investigated whether the kindling process induces site-specific (anterior-posterior) and seizure-outlasting alterations in the activity of putative GABAergic SNr neurons and in their response to pharmacological manipulation. Female Wistar rats were kindled via the basolateral amygdala by daily stimulation. In vivo extracellular single unit recordings of SNr neurons were performed in kindled rats 1 day after a generalized seizure in order to examine activity changes that outlast the kindled seizures. Sham-kindled and naive rats served as controls. We found a significant and seizure-outlasting increase of discharge rates within the posterior but not within the anterior SNr of kindled rats when compared to controls. Furthermore, kindling resulted in seizure-outlasting burst-like firing pattern of SNr neurons. The antiepileptic drug valproic acid (VPA; 100 mg/kg i.v.) significantly reduced SNr discharge rates in all animal groups. Interestingly, neurons located in the anterior SNr of kindled rats were significantly less depressed by VPA compared to the reduction obtained in naive controls. The present data disclose kindling induced functional plasticity within basal ganglia regions. The findings are relevant for a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the seizure-gating function of the SNr and might provide new targets for rational therapeutic manipulations, which aim to establish a remote control of epileptic seizures.
