BLA stimulation intensities:
Evoked complete cessation of firing Onset ~30 ms Duration ~ 150-200ms Evoked inhibition: 2-3 sweeps of 100-200 pulses at 0.67 Hz
Short-term VTA stimulation effects:
Burst pattern: 20 Hz, 4pulse train, 700μA Delivered 25 ms before single pulse to BLA Paired stimuli delivered at 10s intervals, 50 sweeps (bursts)
VTA stimulation Results:
Inhibition occurred both prior to and following BLA stimulation, therefore short acting (<200 ms) BLA effects were unable to be determined
![Page 15: Stan B. Floresco and Maric T. Tse](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813f49550346895da9ffc3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Weakening of BLA-evoked inhibition
No change in baseline firing rate, 2.6 ± 0.5 Hz After VTA stimulation, 4.1 ± 1 Hz F (1,10) = 1.82, p = 0.207
4 of the 11 neuons tested
Increase in spontaneous firing, +273 ± 2% Little or no change in remaining 7 neurons, -14 ± 15% Two-way ANOVA showed no difference in neurons
F(1,9) = 0.52, p = .489
VTA stimulation induced attenuation of BLA-evoked inhibition not due to changes in spontaneous firing rates
![Page 19: Stan B. Floresco and Maric T. Tse](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813f49550346895da9ffc3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Iontophoretic application attenuated BLA-evoked
inhibition, but not as succinctly as VTA stimulated modulation

Administered via intravenous injection
1 neuron per rat, 1 injection per rat
Stimulation intensities adjusted to baseline BLA-evoked
excitation or inhibition
5 minute period from drug injection to BLA stimulation
BLA→mPFC (-): 100-200 sweeps before and after drug injection BLA→mPFC (+): 40-150 sweeps

Four agonists plus saline control
Treatment by sample interactions resulted in
significant effect for all three measures
Duration of inhibition F(4,24) = 3.83; p = 0.015 Onset of inhibition F(4,24) = 3.57; p = 0.020 Percentage inhibition of firing rate F(4,24) = 4.65; p = 0.006
Saline control had no effect on BLA-evoked
inhibition measures or baseline firing rate
Repeating single-pulse BLA stimulation did not effect BLA-evoked inhibition or the BLA→mPFC(-) spontaneous firing rates over time
![Page 23: Stan B. Floresco and Maric T. Tse](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813f49550346895da9ffc3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
D1 agonist SKF 81297 (0.5mg/kg; n = 5)
No significant effect on any of the three measures Did not modulate BLA-evoked inhibition
D2-Like: D2, D4 agonist Quinpirole (0.2mg/kg; n = 6)
Significantly weakened BLA-evoked inhibition Reduced duration of inhibition, p = 0.007 Increased onset of inhibition, p = 0.002 Weakened percentage inhibition of spontaneous firing, p = 0.012 Therefore can reduce normal BLA induced feedforward mPFC inhibition and enhance BLA driven
excitation pathway
D4 agonist PD-168,077 (1mg/kg; n = 7)
Weakened BLA-evoked inhibition in all three measures Reduced duration of inhibition, p = 0.0003 Increased onset of inhibition, p = 0.009 Weakened percentage inhibition of spontaneous firing, p < 0.0001
D2 agonist Bromocriptine (0.5mg/kg; n = 6)
Reduced duration of inhibition, p = 0.0003 Weakened percentage inhibition of spontaneous firing, p = 0.003 Did not change onset of inhibition, p = 0.781

The agonists did not altered the effect of
spontaneous firing rates of mPFC neurons
D2 and D4 activation weakened BLA-evoked inhibition in a
subpopulation of mPFC neurons
May then increase effects of excitatory inputs from BLA
Also found one mPFC(-) neuron that acted as a monosynaptic mPFC(+) neuron in the presence of D1 agonist SKF 81297 in response to BLA stimulation

In the different protocols:
44 BLA→mPFC(+) neurons Baseline firing rate: 1.9±0.4 Hz
~50% had very low rates of spontaneous firing: 0-0.8 Hz Could not determine inhibitory response
Remaining ~50% displayed evoked EPSP-IPSP-like inhibition after initial firing
Only characterized evoked firing effects from DA protocols The average latency of evoked excitatory response was 13±0.5 ms

Significant sample by pulse interaction F(4,20) = 15.49, p < 0.0001
Increased frequency of BLA stimulation alone Significant increase in evoked firing probability, p = 0.006 Progressive over each pulse in the train

pulse Consequent pulses resulted in no VTA suppression of evoked firing
End of VTA stimulation to later pulses ~ 100 – 200 ms BLA-evoked firing not inhibited
At 100 – 200 ms, VTA stimulation of single-pulse BLA protocol resulted in significant suppression of mPFC firing Frequency dependent

Antidromic neurons were activated by stimulating the Nac or the VTA
- some neurons receive either direct or indirect BLA projections
- projections then go to ventral striatum or
midbrain DA cells

n = 22, BLA stimulated
Latency responses compared to mPFC(+) latency responses
Antidromic latency was longer than orthdromic t(64) = 5.02, p = 0.0001
Mode (21 ms) higher than orthodromic mode (12ms) Orthodromic signals from BLA arrive at mPFC sooner Therefore excitation of the BLA probably due to glutamatergic
projections from the BLA to the mPFC and not antidromic activation of recurrent axon collaterals from the mPFC to the BLA
![Page 43: Stan B. Floresco and Maric T. Tse](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813f49550346895da9ffc3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
BLA-evoked inhibition likely to be due to ascending BLA glutamatergic pathways Electrode placement was caudal BLA mPFC projections terminate more in the more rostral BLA Latency data suggests excitatory responses were likely
ascending Inhibition via GABAergic interneurons also ascending
glutamatergic pathway ~60% of BLA→mPFC(-) had shorter latencies than antidromic
Points to ascending pathway involvement
