The selective D1and D2-agonists SKF-38393 and N-0437 respectively, were tested in caudate pretreated with PT. A paired recording paradigm was used where the contralateral untreated caudate served as a control. Micropipettes were used to locally apply SKF-38393 and N-O437 onto neurons in both control and PT-pretreated caudate. A significant attenuation of the responses to the D2agonist were observed after PT administration. Only 1 out 12 cells tested on the PT side demonstrated any response to locally applied N-O437, whereas 90% of the neurons responded to the drug on the control side. Neurons from both the PT-pretreated and control caudates responded to locally applied SKF-38393. In addition to the specific D1and D2receptor agonists, DA and the indirect dopamine agonist PCP were tested for changes in responsiveness. Dopamine was equally efficacious at both control and PT-pretreated caudate neurons, which suggest that dopamine locally applied from the micropipette can interact with the unperturbed D1receptors in the PT-pretreated caudate. On the other hand, the response to PCP was significantly attenuated after PT administration, which suggest that endogenously released DA preferentially interacts with the D2receptor subtype. Taken together these data suggest an important role for the D2receptor in the physiology of dopamine responsiveness in the caudate nucleus.
