Identical responses of the two hippocampal theta generators to physiological and pharmacological activation. 1981

M Krug, and R Brödemann, and T Ott

The possible existence of two separate RSA generators in the dorsal hippocampus raises questions as to the degree of coupling or independence of both. In order to answer these questions bipolar EEG recording were made in the CA1 and dentate gyrus of freely moving rats during conditions of RSA generation by different manipulations. The quantitative EEG parameters of simultaneous records were compared and cross correlation functions were calculated. Results indicate that even under different conditions of inducing RSA (physiological activation or injection of arecoline and nicotine) yielding RSA with different frequency characteristics, the quantitative EEG parameters were similar in both recordings. In addition, a high degree of concordance of both EEG was evidenced in the cross correlation function. These observations are discussed in terms of a high degree of coupling between both RS generators.

D008297 Male Males
D009538 Nicotine Nicotine is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke. Nicotine Bitartrate,Nicotine Tartrate

D004569 Electroencephalography Recording of electric currents developed in the brain by means of electrodes applied to the scalp, to the surface of the brain, or placed within the substance of the brain. EEG,Electroencephalogram,Electroencephalograms
D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

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.

D001115 Arecoline An alkaloid obtained from the betel nut (Areca catechu), fruit of a palm tree. It is an agonist at both muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It is used in the form of various salts as a ganglionic stimulant, a parasympathomimetic, and a vermifuge, especially in veterinary practice. It has been used as a euphoriant in the Pacific Islands. Methylarecaidin,Arecaline,Arecholin,Arecholine,Arecolin
D013826 Theta Rhythm Brain waves characterized by a frequency of 4-7 Hz, usually observed in the temporal lobes when the individual is awake, but relaxed and sleepy. Rhythm, Theta,Rhythms, Theta,Theta Rhythms
