ranging from 5 x 10-' to 2 x 10-4M and volumes from 0.13 to 0.04 ul, without evidence of local anesthetic effects. In 9 of 14 animals, neuronal firing in the caudate-putamen increased following infusion of amphetamine into the substantia nigra, while in four animals it was unaffected and in one animal activity declined in the caudate-putamen. Infusion of amphetamine into the reticular formation above the substantia nigra, or in pars reticulata of the substantia nigra below pars compacta, usually resulted in increased neuronal activity at the recording electrode in these structures, although the reverse was also seen, and increased neuronal activity typically accompanied these changes at the recording site in the caudate-putamen. It is unclear whether in such instances increased neuronal firing in the caudate-putamen is due to release from dopaminergic inhibition, or increased activity in nondopaminergic elements of the substantia nigra or reticular formation, both of which have access to the caudate-putamen (51). Bunney et al. (31) have reported that the inhibition of dopaminergic neuronal firing produced by intravenously administered amphetamine can be blocked by treatment 15 to 30 minutes prior to amphetamine administration with DL-t-methyl-ptyrosine, a drug that inhibits synthesis of catecholamines [S. Spector, A. Sjoerdsma, S. Udenfriend, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 147, 86 (1965); M. J. Besson, A. Cheramy, J. Glowinski, ibid. 177, 196 (1971); Weissman et al. (15)]. We have also been able to reduce or abolish the depression of dopaminergic neuronal firing produced by local infusion of amphetamine with similar pretreatments (N = 4). In addition, this compound typically leads to marked increases in spontaneous neuronal activity in both pars compacta of the substantia nigra and the caudate-putamen. 53. B. S. Bunney and G. K. Aghajanian, in Frontiers in Catecholamine Research, E. Usdin and S. Snyder, Eds. (Pergamon, New York, 1973), p. 961. 54. Axonal transection does appear to block amphetamine-induced release of dopamine from dopaminergic terminals in the neostriatum [M. J. Besson, A. Cheramy, C. Gauchy, J. Glowinski, NaunynSchmiedebergs Arch. Pharmakol. 278, 101 (1973); Von Voightlander and Moore (19)] and a similar blocking effect of axonal transection on catecholamine release from terminals of intact axon collaterals has been suggested by U. Ungerstedt [in The Neurosciences, Third Study Program, F. 0. Schmitt and F. G. Worden, Eds. (MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1974), p. 9791. 55. J. Parizek, R. Hassler, I. J. Bak, Z. Zellforsch.
