Basal Ganglia Responses to Electrical Stimulation of the Posterior Hypothalamic Nucleus
Abstract Electrical or chemical stimulation of the posterior hypothalamic nucleus (PH) elicits highly adaptive locomotion, demonstrating both evidence of flexibility and variety in exhibited motor behaviours. However, the neural substrates of PH stimulation elicited behavioural changes are poorly understood. The basal ganglia are postulated to be critically involved in the process of action selection in conjunction with thalamo-cortical systems. The present study examines changes in basal ganglia activities in response to the high-frequency stimulation of the PH. Under urethane anaesthesia, ensemble and single-unit recordings were obtained from the striatum (STR), globus pallidus externa (GPe), entopeduncular nucleus (EP), subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr). Upon PH stimulation, increases in firing rates were observed in the STR, GPe, and STN, a decrease was observed in the SNr and no changes were seen in the EP. The increase in spike rate in the STR and GPe was dependent on the stimulation intensity but not duration. Despite the differences in the direction of firing changes during PH stimulation, all examined areas including those not part of the basal ganglia demonstrated an elevated spiking rate upon stimulus train termination. Taking into account the known anatomical connections between the PH and the basal ganglia, it is hypothesized responses seen during PH stimulus trains are mediated through thalamic and cortical relays whereas the overall post-stimulus excitatory response is related to the impact of the PH on brainstem arousal systems..
