Dopamine depletion in a striatal subregion disrupts performance of a skilled motor task in the rat. 1985

K E Sabol, and D B Neill, and S A Wages, and W H Church, and J B Justice

Unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine injections into the lateral neostriatum disrupted the ability of rats to retrieve small food pellets with the contralateral forepaw. Similar injections into the medial striatum did not interfere with performance accuracy. Dopamine assays indicated that of the 5 striatal subregions analyzed, the lateral striatum at the level of the anterior commissure was most directly related to the behavioral deficit. The behavioral results are interpreted as providing evidence in support of a sensory role for the lateral striatal dopamine system.

D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.

D006892 Hydroxydopamines Dopamines with a hydroxy group substituted in one or more positions. Hydroxydopamine
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016627 Oxidopamine A neurotransmitter analogue that depletes noradrenergic stores in nerve endings and induces a reduction of dopamine levels in the brain. Its mechanism of action is related to the production of cytolytic free-radicals. 6-Hydroxydopamine,6-OHDA,Oxidopamine Hydrobromide,Oxidopamine Hydrochloride,6 Hydroxydopamine,Hydrobromide, Oxidopamine,Hydrochloride, Oxidopamine
