Striatal Input- and Rate-Dependent Effects of Muscarinic Receptors on Pallidal Firing

Figure 3

The heterogeneous effects in the spiking rate of globus pallidus neurons evoked by local blockade of MRs do not depend on the firing rate before application of atropine. (a) Frequency histogram of a pallidal neuron showing the blockade of the inhibition evoked by activation of MRs by atropine. spks/s, spikes per second. (b) Statistics illustrating that the effect of the local blockade of MRs in the spiking rate does not depend on the baseline firing rate before local infusion of 1 nmol atropine.
