Modulating Action of an α2Adrenoreceptor Agonist, Clonidine, on Neuronal Activity and Synaptic Transmission in the Rat Prefrontal Cortex

Abstract: We studied the action of an α2-adrenoreceptor agonist, clonidine, on impulse activity of neurons of the prefrontal cortex (FRA; the cortical region playing an important role in cognitive processes). The background activity of such neurons and their responses to stereotaxic stimulation of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, MDM, directly projecting to FRA were recorded. Clonidine was applied microiontophoretically (50 mM, currents 5 to 40 nA, duration 20 to 30 sec). Applications of clonidine exerted ambivalent ef… Show more
