Since electrophysiological correlates of L-dopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) are
almost unknown, changes of striatal dopamine (DA) transmission and
electrophysiological activity of the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) were
recorded before and after acute L-dopa administration in sham-operated and
6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rats that were previously treated with
vehicle or L-dopa for 10 days. Abnormal involuntary movements occurred only in
the L-dopa-primed 6-OHDA-lesioned rats that showed after acute l-dopa
administration a decrease in firing rate, the highest local field potential power
in the theta/alpha band, a consequent oscillatory activity in the same frequency
band at the single neuron level and an excessive increase in striatal DA release
associated with the lowest level of DA metabolism. These results suggest that
increased synchronised afferent activity may drive SNr oscillations in the same
frequency band and is associated with abnormal involuntary movements, further
suggesting the potential use of desynchronising drugs for managing LID in
Parkinson’s disease.
