Figure Lengend Snippet: Serotonin receptor 5-HT1B agonist CP-93129 lowers the average IPSC amplitude and synaptic success rate. A , Example IPSC amplitude recording and drug treatment for D1→D2-SPN connections (D1-Cre mouse). Bath application of serotonin receptor 5-HT1B agonist CP-93129 results in silencing of IPSCs. Recording of IPSCs resumes after washout. B , Example IPSC amplitude recording and drug treatment for D2→D1-SPN connections (A2a-Cre mouse). Bath application of serotonin receptor 5-HT1B agonist CP-93129 results in reduction of IPSCs amplitude and increased failures. IPSC recording recovers after washout. C , E , G , Average IPSC amplitude change during drug treatment for D2 SPNs ( N = 12, D1-Cre mice; C ), D1-SPNs ( N = 6, A2a-Cre mice; E ) and control conditions [ N = 6: D1-Cre (3), A2a-Cre (3); G )]. Each point is an average of six IPSC events. Dotted lines represent SEM IPSC amplitude change was normalized against last 5 min of baseline. The traces on the right are examples recorded during baseline (black), drug treatment/equal period for control conditions (light gray) and washout (dark gray). The black bar represents the 2-ms light pulse. D , F , H , Average group synaptic success rate of D1→D2-SPNs ( D ), D2→D1-SPNs ( F ), and control conditions ( H ). Individual synaptic success rate was calculated as number of recorded IPSCs per minute divided by the number of maximal IPSCs per minute. D , F , H , same cells as C , E , G . Dotted lines represent SEM. All recordings were done in the presence of KA.
Article Snippet: The following antibodies were used: 5-HT1B (ASR-022, Alomone Labs, 1:200), choline acetyltransferase (AB144P, Chemicon, 1:150), and DARPP-32 (611520, BD Biosciences, 1:250).
