JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202504000-00031/figure1/v/2024-07-06T104127Z/r/image-tiff Long-term levodopa administration can lead to the development of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Gamma oscillations are a widely recognized hallmark of abnormal neural electrical activity in levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Currently, studies have reported increased oscillation power in cases of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. However, little is known about how the other electrophysiological parameters of gamma oscillations are altered in levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Furthermore, the role of the dopamine D3 receptor, which is implicated in levodopa-induced dyskinesia, in movement disorder-related changes in neural oscillations is unclear. We found that the cortico-striatal functional connectivity of beta oscillations was enhanced in a model of Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, levodopa application enhanced cortical gamma oscillations in cortico-striatal projections and cortical gamma aperiodic components, as well as bidirectional primary motor cortex (M1) ↔ dorsolateral striatum gamma flow. Administration of PD128907 (a selective dopamine D3 receptor agonist) induced dyskinesia and excessive gamma oscillations with a bidirectional M1 ↔ dorsolateral striatum flow. However, administration of PG01037 (a selective dopamine D3 receptor antagonist) attenuated dyskinesia, suppressed gamma oscillations and cortical gamma aperiodic components, and decreased gamma causality in the M1 → dorsolateral striatum direction. These findings suggest that the dopamine D3 receptor plays a role in dyskinesia-related oscillatory activity, and that it has potential as a therapeutic target for levodopa-induced dyskinesia.

Differential effects of opioid receptor antagonism on the anti-dyskinetic and anti-parkinsonian effects of sub-anesthetic ketamine treatment in a preclinical model. Neuropharmacology 2024; 257:110047. [PMID: 38889877 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2024.110047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Sub-anesthetic ketamine treatment has been shown to be an effective therapy for treatment-resistant depression and chronic pain. Our group has previously shown that sub-anesthetic ketamine produces acute anti-parkinsonian, and acute anti-dyskinetic effects in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease (PD). Ketamine is a multifunctional drug and exerts effects through blockade of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors but also through interaction with the opioid system. In this report, we provide detailed pharmacokinetic rodent data on ketamine and its main metabolites following an intraperitoneal injection, and second, we explore the pharmacodynamic properties of ketamine in a rodent PD model with respect to the opioid system, using naloxone, a pan-opioid receptor antagonist, in unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned male rats, treated with 6 mg/kg levodopa (l-DOPA) to establish a model of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). As previously reported, we showed that ketamine (20 mg/kg) is highly efficacious in reducing LID and now report that the magnitude of this effect is resistant to naloxone (3 and 5 mg/kg). The higher naloxone dose of 5 mg/kg, however, led to an extension of the time-course of the LID, indicating that opioid receptor activation, while not a prerequisite for the anti-dyskinetic effects of ketamine, still exerts an acute modulatory effect. In contrast to the mild modulatory effect on LID, we found that naloxone added to the anti-parkinsonian activity of ketamine, further reducing the akinetic phenotype. In conclusion, our data show opioid receptor blockade differentially modulates the acute anti-parkinsonian and anti-dyskinetic actions of ketamine, providing novel mechanistic information to support repurposing ketamine for individuals with LID.

Abstract
Gamma oscillations have been frequently observed in levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), manifest as broadband (60-120 Hz) and narrowband (80-110 Hz) gamma activity in cortico-striatal projection. We investigated the electrophysiological mechanisms and correlation of gamma oscillations with dyskinesia severity, while assessing the administration of fenobam, a selective metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonist, in regulating dyskinesia-associated gamma activity. We conducted simultaneous electrophysiological recordings in Striatum (Str) and primary motor cortex (M1), together with Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale scoring (AIMs). Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), power, coherence, and Granger causality analyses were conducted for electrophysiological data. The findings demonstrated increased beta oscillations with directionality from M1 to Str in parkinsonian state. During on-state dyskinesia, elevated broadband gamma activity was modulated by the phase of theta activity in Str, while M1 → Str gamma causality mediated narrowband gamma oscillations in Str. Striatal gamma power (both periodic and aperiodic power), periodic power, peak frequency, and PAC at 80 min (corresponding to the peak dyskinesia) after repeated levodopa injections across recording days (day 30, 33, 36, 39, and 42) increased progressively, correlating with total AIMs. Additionally, a time-dependent parabolic trend of PAC, peak frequency and gamma power was observed after levodopa injection on day 42 from 20 to 120 min, which also correlated with corresponding AIMs. Fenobam effectively alleviates dyskinesia, suppresses enhanced gamma oscillations in the M1-Str directionality, and reduces PAC in Str. The temporal characteristics of gamma oscillations provide parameters for classifying LID severity. Antagonizing striatal mGluR5, a promising therapeutic target for dyskinesia, exerts its effects by modulating gamma activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sedation during flexible bronchoscopy (FB) should maintain an adequate respiratory drive, ensure maximum comfort for the patient, and warrant that the objectives of the procedure are achieved. Nevertheless, the optimal sedation method for FB has yet to be established. This study aimed to compare the standard recommended combination of midazolam-fentanyl (MF) with that of dexmedetomidine-ketamine (DK) for patient sedation during FB. METHODS Patients subjected to FB were randomly assigned to a DK (n = 25) and an MF group (n = 25). The primary outcome was the rate of critical desaturation events (arterial oxygen saturation < 80% with nasal oxygen supply 2 L/min). Secondary outcomes included sedation depth, hemodynamic complications, adverse events, and patient and bronchoscopist satisfaction. RESULTS The incidence rates of critical desaturation events were similar between the two groups (DK: 12% vs. MF: 28%, p = 0.289). DK achieved deeper maximum sedation levels (higher Ramsay - lower Riker scale; p < 0.001) and was associated with longer recovery times (p < 0.001). Both groups had comparable rates of hemodynamic and other complications. Patient satisfaction was similar between the two groups, but bronchoscopist satisfaction was higher with the DK combination (p = 0.033). CONCLUSION DK demonstrated a good safety profile in patients subjected to FB and achieved more profound sedation and better bronchoscopist satisfaction than the standard MF combination without increasing the rate of adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reaching, grasping, and pulling behaviors are studied across species to investigate motor control and problem solving. String pulling is a distinct reaching and grasping behavior that is rapidly learned, requires bimanual coordination, is ethologically grounded, and has been applied across species and disease conditions. NEW METHOD Here we describe the PANDA system (Pulling And Neural Data Analysis), a hardware and software system that integrates a continuous string loop connected to a rotary encoder, feeder, microcontroller, high-speed camera, and analysis software for the assessment and training of reaching, grasping, and pulling behaviors and synchronization with neural data. RESULTS We demonstrate this system in rats implanted with electrodes in motor cortex and hippocampus and show how it can be used to assess relationships between reaching, pulling, and grasping movements and single-unit and local-field activity. Furthermore, we found that automating the shaping procedure significantly improved performance over manual training, with rats pulling > 100 m during a 15-minute session. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS String-pulling is typically shaped by tying food reward to the string and visually scoring behavior. The system described here automates training, streamlines video assessment with deep learning, and automatically segments reaching movements into distinct reach/pull phases. No system, to our knowledge, exists for the automated shaping and assessment of this behavior. CONCLUSIONS This system will be of general use to researchers investigating motor control, motivation, sensorimotor integration, and motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease and stroke.

Abstract
AIM Parkinson's disease (PD) is a pervasive neurodegenerative disease, and levodopa (L-dopa) is its preferred treatment. The pathophysiological mechanism of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), the most common complication of long-term L-dopa administration, remains obscure. Accumulated evidence suggests that the dopaminergic as well as non-dopaminergic systems contribute to LID development. As a 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A/1B receptor agonist, eltoprazine ameliorates dyskinesia, although little is known about its electrophysiological mechanism. The aim of this study was to investigate the cumulative effects of chronic L-dopa administration and the potential mechanism of eltoprazine's amelioration of dyskinesia at the electrophysiological level in rats. METHODS Neural electrophysiological analysis techniques were conducted on the acquired local field potential (LFP) data from primary motor cortex (M1) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS) during different pathological states to obtain the information of power spectrum density, theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), and functional connectivity. Behavior tests and AIMs scoring were performed to verify PD model establishment and evaluate LID severity. RESULTS We detected exaggerated gamma activities in the dyskinetic state, with different features and impacts in distinct regions. Gamma oscillations in M1 were narrowband manner, whereas that in DLS had a broadband appearance. Striatal exaggerated theta-gamma PAC in the LID state contributed to broadband gamma oscillation, and aperiodic-corrected cortical beta power correlated robustly with aperiodic-corrected gamma power in M1. M1-DLS coherence and phase-locking values (PLVs) in the gamma band were enhanced following L-dopa administration. Eltoprazine intervention reduced gamma oscillations, theta-gamma PAC in the DLS, and coherence and PLVs in the gamma band to alleviate dyskinesia. CONCLUSION Excessive cortical gamma oscillation is a compelling clinical indicator of dyskinesia. The detection of enhanced PAC and functional connectivity of gamma-band oscillation can be used to guide and optimize deep brain stimulation parameters. Eltoprazine has potential clinical application for dyskinesia.

Abstract
String-pulling tasks have been used for centuries to study coordinated bimanual motor behavior and problem solving. String pulling is rapidly learned, ethologically grounded, and has been applied to many species and disease conditions. Typically, training of string-pulling behaviors is achieved through manual shaping and baiting. Furthermore, behavioral assessment of reaching, grasping, and pulling is often performed through labor intensive manual video scoring. No system, to our knowledge, currently exists for the automated shaping and assessment of string-pulling behaviors. Here we describe the PANDA system (Pulling And Neural Data Analysis), an inexpensive hardware and software system that utilizes a continuous string loop connected to a rotary encoder, feeder, microcontroller, high-speed camera, and analysis software for assessment and training of string-pulling behaviors and synchronization with neural recording data. We demonstrate this system in unimplanted rats and rats implanted with electrodes in motor cortex and hippocampus and show how the PANDA system can be used to assess relationships between paw movements and single-unit and local-field activity. We also found that automating the shaping procedure significantly improved overall performance, with rats regularly pulling >100 meters during a 15-minute session. In conclusion, the PANDA system will be of general use to researchers investigating motor control, motivation, and motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and stroke. It will also support the investigation of neural mechanisms involved in sensorimotor integration.

Abstract
Intracerebral recordings from movement disorders patients undergoing deep brain stimulation have allowed the identification of pathophysiological patterns in oscillatory activity that correlate with symptom severity. Changes in oscillatory synchrony occur within and across brain areas, matching the classification of movement disorders as network disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms of oscillatory changes are difficult to assess in patients, as experimental interventions are technically limited and ethically problematic. This is why animal models play an important role in neurophysiological research of movement disorders. In this review, we highlight the contributions of translational research to the mechanistic understanding of pathological changes in oscillatory activity, with a focus on parkinsonism and dystonia, while addressing the limitations of current findings and proposing possible future directions.

Abstract
Gamma oscillations comprise a loosely defined, heterogeneous group of functionally different activities between 30 and 100 Hz in the cortical and subcortical local field potential (LFP) of the motor network. Two distinct patterns seem to emerge which are easily conflated: Finely-tuned gamma (FTG) oscillations - a narrowband activity with peaks between 60 and 90 Hz - have been observed in multiple movement disorders and are induced by dopaminergic medication or deep brain stimulation (DBS). FTG has been linked with levodopa or DBS-induced dyskinesias, which makes it a putative biomarker for adaptive DBS. On the other hand, gamma activity can also present as a broad phenomenon (30-100 Hz) in the context of motor activation and dynamic processing. Here, we contrast FTG, either levodopa-induced or DBS-induced, from movement-related broadband gamma synchronisation and further elaborate on the functional role of FTG and its potential implications for adaptive DBS. Given the unclear distinction of FTG and broad gamma in literature, we appeal for more careful separation of the two. To better characterise cortical and subcortical FTG as biomarkers for dyskinesia, their sensitivity and specificity need to be investigated in a large clinical trial.

Neuropharmacology 2022; 203:108881.

Abstract
Although serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) receptor agonists are widely used as the additive compound to reduce l-dopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD), few studies focused on the effect and mechanism of 5-HT1A receptor agonist on the motor symptoms of PD. Unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rats were used and implantation of electrodes was performed in the motor cortex of these rats. So the effect of 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT on motor behaviors and oscillatory activities were evaluated. In addition, 8-OH-DPAT combined with D2 receptor antagonist raclopride, NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801, or its agonist d-cycloserine (DCS) were co-administrated. 8-OH-DPAT administration significantly improved spontaneous locomotor activity and asymmetric forepaw function in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. Meanwhile, 8-OH-DPAT identified selective modulation of the abnormal high beta oscillations (25-40 Hz) in the motor cortex of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, without inducing pathological finely tuned gamma around 80 Hz. Different from 8-OH-DPAT, l-dopa treatment produced a prolonged improvement on motor performances and differential regulation of high beta and gamma oscillations. However, dopamine D2 receptor antagonist had no influence on the 8-OH-DPAT-mediated-motor behaviors and beta oscillations in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. In contrast, subthreshold NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 obviously elevated the 8-OH-DPAT-mediated-motor behaviors, while NMDA receptor agonist DCS partially impaired the 8-OH-DPAT-mediated symptoms in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. This study suggests that 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT improves motor activity and modulates the oscillations in the motor cortex of parkinsonian rats. Different from l-dopa, 8-OH-DPAT administration ameliorates motor symptoms of PD through glutamatergic rather than the dopaminergic pathway.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), characterized by motor dysfunction. While PD symptoms are well treated with L-DOPA, continuous use can cause L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). We have previously demonstrated that sub-anesthetic ketamine attenuated LID development in rodents, measured by abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs), and reduced the density of maladaptive striatal dendritic mushroom spines. Microglia may play a role by phagocytosing maladaptive neuronal spines. In this exploratory study, we hypothesized that ketamine would prevent AIMs and change microglia ramified morphology - an indicator of a microglia response. Unilaterally 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rats were primed with daily injections of L-DOPA for 14 days, treated on days 0 and 7 for 10-hours with sub-anesthetic ketamine (i.p.), and we replicated that this attenuated LID development. We further extended our prior work by showing that while ketamine treatment did lead to an increase of striatal interleukin-6 in dyskinetic rats, indicating a modulation of an inflammatory response, it did not change microglia number or morphology in the dyskinetic striatum. Yet an increase of CD68 in the SNpc of 6-OHDA-lesioned hemispheres post-ketamine indicates increased microglia phagocytosis suggestive of a lingering microglial response to 6-OHDA injury in the SNpc pointing to possible anti-inflammatory action in the PD model in addition to anti-dyskinetic action. In conclusion, we provide further support for sub-anesthetic ketamine treatment of LID. The mechanisms of action for ketamine, specifically related to inflammation and microglia phagocytic functions, are emerging, and require further examination.
