Abstract
In parkinsonism, subthalamic nucleus (STN) electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) improves symptoms, but may be associated with side effects. Adaptive DBS (aDBS), which enables modulation of stimulation, may limit side effects, but limited information is available about clinical effectiveness and efficaciousness. We developed a brain-machine interface for aDBS, which enables modulation of stimulation parameters of STN-DBS in response to γ2 band activity (80-200 Hz) of local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from the primary motor cortex (M1), and tested its effectiveness in parkinsonian monkeys. We trained two monkeys to perform an upper limb reaching task and rendered them parkinsonian with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. Bipolar intracortical recording electrodes were implanted in the M1, and a recording chamber was attached to access the STN. In aDBS, the M1 LFPs were recorded, filtered into the γ2 band, and discretized into logic pulses by a window discriminator, and the pulses were used to modulate the interval and amplitude of DBS pulses. In constant DBS (cDBS), constant stimulus intervals and amplitudes were used. Reaction and movement times during the task were measured and compared between aDBS and cDBS. The M1-γ2 activities were increased before and during movements in parkinsonian monkeys and these activities modulated the aDBS pulse interval, amplitude, and dispersion. With aDBS and cDBS, reaction and movement times were significantly decreased in comparison to DBS-OFF. The electric charge delivered was lower with aDBS than cDBS. M1-γ2 aDBS in parkinsonian monkeys resulted in clinical benefits that did not exceed those from cDBS. However, M1-γ2 aDBS achieved this magnitude of benefit for only two thirds of the charge delivered by cDBS. In conclusion, M1-γ2 aDBS is an effective therapeutic approach which requires a lower electrical charge delivery than cDBS for comparable clinical benefits.

Gaucher Q, Yger P, Edeline JM. Increasing excitation versus decreasing inhibition in auditory cortex: consequences on the discrimination performance between communication sounds. J Physiol 2020; 598:3765-3785.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Enhancing cortical excitability can be achieved by either reducing intracortical inhibition or by enhancing intracortical excitation. Here we compare the consequences of reducing intracortical inhibition and of enhancing intracortical excitation on the processing of communication sounds in the primary auditory cortex. Local application of gabazine and of AMPA enlarged the spectrotemporal receptive fields and increased the responses to communication to the same extent. The Mutual Information (an index of the cortical neurons' ability to discriminate between natural sounds) was increased in both cases, as were the noise and signal correlations. Spike-timing reliability was only increased after gabazine application and post-excitation suppression was affected in the opposite way: it was increased when reducing the intracortical inhibition but was eliminated by enhancing the excitation. A computational model suggests that these results can be explained by an additive effect vs. a multiplicative effect ABSTRACT: The level of excitability of cortical circuits is often viewed as one of the critical factors controlling perceptive performance. In theory, enhancing cortical excitability can be achieved either by reducing inhibitory currents or by increasing excitatory currents. Here, we evaluated whether reducing inhibitory currents or increasing excitatory currents in auditory cortex similarly affects the neurons' ability to discriminate between communication sounds. We attenuated the inhibitory currents by application of gabazine (GBZ), and increased the excitatory currents by applying AMPA in the auditory cortex while testing frequency receptive fields and responses to communication sounds. GBZ and AMPA enlarged the receptive fields and increased the responses to communication sounds to the same extent. The spike-timing reliability of neuronal responses was largely increased when attenuating the intracortical inhibition but not after increasing the excitation. The discriminative abilities of cortical cells increased in both cases but this increase was more pronounced after attenuating the inhibition. The shape of the response to communication sounds was modified in the opposite direction: reducing inhibition increased post-excitation suppression whereas this suppression tended to disappear when increasing the excitation. A computational model indicates that the additive effect promoted by AMPA vs. the multiplicative effect of GBZ on neuronal responses, together with the dynamics of spontaneous cortical activity, can explain these differences. Thus, although apparently equivalent for increasing cortical excitability, acting on inhibition vs. on excitation impacts differently the cortical ability to discriminate natural stimuli, and only modulating inhibition changed efficiently the cortical representation of communication sounds.

Abstract
Disinhibition was induced in the hippocampal CA1/CA3 region of normal adult rats by unilateral perfusion of the GABA(A)R antagonist, 4-[6-imino-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridazin-1-yl] butanoic acid hydrobromide (gabazine), or a GABA(B)R antagonist, p-(3-aminopropyl)-p-diethoxymethyl-phosphinic acid (CGP 35348), through a microdialysis probe. Effects of disinhibition on EEG recordings and the concentrations of extracellular glutamate (GLU(ECF)), the major excitatory neurotransmitter, and of extracellular glutamine (GLN(ECF)), its precursor, were examined bilaterally in freely behaving rats. Unilateral perfusion of 10 μM gabazine in artificial CSF of normal electrolyte composition for 34 min induced epileptiform discharges which represent synchronized glutamatergic population bursts, not only in the gabazine-perfused ipsilateral hippocampus, but also in the aCSF-perfused contralateral hippocampus. The concentration of GLU(ECF) remained unchanged, but the concentration of its precursor, GLN(ECF), decreased to 73 ± 4% (n = 5) of the baseline during frequent epileptiform discharges, not only in the ipsilateral, but also in the contralateral hippocampus, where the change can be attributed to recurrent epileptiform discharges per se, with recovery to 95% of baseline when epileptiform discharges diminished. The blockade of GABA(B)R, by CGP 35348 perfusion in the ipsilateral hippocampus for 30 min, induced bilateral Na(+) spikes in extracellular recording. These can reasonably be attributed to somatic and dendritic action potentials and are indicative of synchronized excitatory activity. This disinhibition induced, in both hippocampi, (a) transient 1.6-2.4-fold elevation of GLU(ECF) which correlated with the number of Na(+) spike cluster events and (b) concomitant reduction of GLN(ECF) to ∼ 70%. Intracellular GLN concentration was measured in the hippocampal CA1/CA3 region sampled by microdialysis in separate groups of rats by snap-freezing the brain after 25 min of gabazine perfusion or 20 min of CGP perfusion when extracellular GLN (GLN(ECF)) was 60-70% of the pre-perfusion level. These intracellular GLN concentrations in the disinhibited hippocampi showed no statistically significant difference from the untreated control. This result strongly suggests that the observed decrease of GLN(ECF) is not due to reduced glutamine synthesis or decrease in the rate of efflux of GLN to ECF. This strengthens the likelihood that reduced GLN(ECF) reflects increased GLN uptake into neurons to sustain enhanced GLU flux during excitatory population bursts in disinhibited hippocampus. The results are consistent with the emerging concept that neuronal uptake of GLN(ECF) plays a major role in sustaining epileptiform activities in the kainate-induced model of temporal-lobe epilepsy.

Abstract
Over the last 30 years, the functions (and dysfunctions) of the sensory-motor circuitry have been mostly conceptualized using linear modelizations which have resulted in two main models: the “rate hypothesis” and the “oscillatory hypothesis.” In these two models, the basal ganglia data stream is envisaged as a random temporal combination of independent simple patterns issued from its probability distribution of interval interspikes or its spectrum of frequencies respectively. More recently, non-linear analyses have been introduced in the modelization of motor circuitry activities, and they have provided evidences that complex temporal organizations exist in basal ganglia neuronal activities. Regarding movement disorders, these complex temporal organizations in the basal ganglia data stream differ between conditions (i.e., parkinsonism, dyskinesia, healthy control) and are responsive to treatments (i.e., l-DOPA, deep brain stimulation). A body of evidence has reported that basal ganglia neuronal entropy (a marker for complexity/irregularity in time series) is higher in hypokinetic state. In line with these findings, an entropy-based model has been recently formulated to introduce basal ganglia entropy as a marker for the alteration of motor processing and a factor of motor inhibition. Importantly, non-linear features have also been identified as a marker of condition and/or treatment effects in brain global signals (EEG), muscular activities (EMG), or kinetic of motor symptoms (tremor, gait) of patients with movement disorders. It is therefore warranted that the non-linear dynamics of motor circuitry will contribute to a better understanding of the neuronal dysfunctions underlying the spectrum of parkinsonian motor symptoms including tremor, rigidity, and hypokinesia.

Abstract
In all sensory modalities, intracortical inhibition shapes the functional properties of cortical neurons but also influences the responses to natural stimuli. Studies performed in various species have revealed that auditory cortex neurons respond to conspecific vocalizations by temporal spike patterns displaying a high trial-to-trial reliability, which might result from precise timing between excitation and inhibition. Studying the guinea pig auditory cortex, we show that partial blockage of GABAA receptors by gabazine (GBZ) application (10 μm, a concentration that promotes expansion of cortical receptive fields) increased the evoked firing rate and the spike-timing reliability during presentation of communication sounds (conspecific and heterospecific vocalizations), whereas GABAB receptor antagonists [10 μm saclofen; 10-50 μm CGP55845 (p-3-aminopropyl-p-diethoxymethyl phosphoric acid)] had nonsignificant effects. Computing mutual information (MI) from the responses to vocalizations using either the evoked firing rate or the temporal spike patterns revealed that GBZ application increased the MI derived from the activity of single cortical site but did not change the MI derived from population activity. In addition, quantification of information redundancy showed that GBZ significantly increased redundancy at the population level. This result suggests that a potential role of intracortical inhibition is to reduce information redundancy during the processing of natural stimuli.

Abstract
Previously, we showed that NMDA antagonists enhance high-frequency oscillations (130-180 Hz) in the nucleus accumbens. However, whether NMDA antagonists can enhance high-frequency oscillations in other brain regions remains unclear. Here, we used monopolar, bipolar and inverse current source density techniques to examine oscillatory activity in the hippocampus, a region known to generate spontaneous ripples (∼200 Hz), its surrounding tissue, and the dorsal striatum, neuroanatomically related to the nucleus accumbens. In monopolar recordings, ketamine-induced increases in the power of high-frequency oscillations were detected in all structures, although the power was always substantially larger in the nucleus accumbens. In bipolar recordings, considered to remove common-mode input, high-frequency oscillations associated with ketamine injection were not present in the regions we investigated outside the nucleus accumbens. In line with this, inverse current source density showed the greatest changes in current to occur in the vicinity of the nucleus accumbens and a monopolar structure of the generator. We found little spatial localisation of ketamine high-frequency oscillations in other areas. In contrast, sharp-wave ripples, which were well localized to the hippocampus, occurred less frequently after ketamine. Notably, we also found ketamine produced small, but significant, changes in the power of 30-90 Hz gamma oscillations (an increase in the hippocampus and a decrease in the nucleus accumbens).

Abstract
Implantable microfabricated microelectrode arrays represent a versatile and powerful tool to record electrophysiological activity across multiple spatial locations in the brain. Spikes and field potentials, however, correspond to only a fraction of the physiological information available at the neural interface. In urethane-anesthetized rats, microfabricated microelectrode arrays were implanted acutely for simultaneous recording of striatal local field potentials, spikes, and electrically evoked dopamine overflow on the same spatiotemporal scale. During these multi-modal recordings we observed (1) that the amperometric method used to detect dopamine did not significantly influence electrophysiological activity, (2) that electrical stimulation in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) region resulted in electrochemically transduced dopamine transients in the striatum that were spatially heterogeneous within at least 200 microm, and (3) following MFB stimulation, dopamine levels and electrophysiological activity within the striatum exhibited similar temporal profiles. These neural probes are capable of incorporating customized microelectrode geometries and configurations, which may be useful for examining specific spatiotemporal relationships between electrical and chemical signaling in the brain.

Abstract
To elucidate the role of ambient striatal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the regulation of neuronal activity in the basal ganglia–thalamocortical circuits, we studied the effects of blocking striatal GABAA receptors on the electrical activities of single striatal neurons, on local field potentials (LFPs) in the striatum, and on motor cortical electroencephalograms (EEGs) in two monkeys. Striatal LFPs were recorded with a device that allowed us to simultaneously record field potentials and apply drugs by reverse microdialysis at the same site. Administration of the GABAA-receptor antagonist gabazine (SR95531, 10 and 500 μM) induced large-amplitude LFP fluctuations at the infusion site, occurring every 2–5 s for about 2 h after the start of the 20-min drug administration. These events were prevented by cotreatment with a GABAA-receptor agonist (muscimol, 100 μM) or a combination of ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists (CNQX and MK-801, each given at 100 μM). Gabazine (10 μM) also increased the firing of single neurons recorded close to the injection site, but in most cases there was no correlation between single-neuron activity and the concomitantly recorded LFP signals from the same striatal region. In contrast, intrastriatal application of gabazine increased the correlation between striatal LFPs and EEG, and resulted in the appearance of recurrent EEG events that were temporally related to the striatal LFP events. These data provide evidence that a GABAergic “tone” in the monkey striatum controls the spontaneous activity of striatal neurons, as well as the level of striatal and cortical synchrony.
