Abstract
Background and purpose The central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) is one of the nuclei involved in the reward system. The aim of the current study was to investigate the electrical stimulation (e-stim) effect of the CeA in combination with dopamine D1 receptor antagonist on morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in male rats. Experimental approach A 5-day procedure of CPP was used in this study. Morphine was administered at an effective dose of 5 mg/kg, and SCH23390 as a selective D1 receptor antagonist was administrated into the CeA. In addition, the CeA was stimulated with an intensity of the current of 150 μA. Finally, the dependence on morphine was evaluated in all experimental groups. Findings/Results Morphine significantly increased CPP. While the blockade of the D1 receptor of the CeA reduced the acquisition phase of morphine-induced CPP. Moreover, the combination of D1 receptor antagonist and e-stim suppressed morphine-induced CPP, even it induced an aversion. Conclusion and implication The current study suggests that the administration of dopamine D1 receptor antagonist into the CeA in combination with e-stim could play a prominent role in morphine dependence.

Abstract
Glutamate is thought to be the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS, while glutamine predominantly serves as a precursor and metabolite in the glutamate-glutamine cycle. To verify the interaction between intrinsic extracellular glutamate, y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels and glial glutamine outflow in human tissue, fresh brain slices from human frontal cortex were incubated in superfusion chambers in vitro. Human neocortical tissue was obtained during surgical treatment of subcortical brain tumors. For superfusion experiments, the white matter was separated and discarded from the gray matter, which finally contained all six neocortical layers. Outflows of endogenous glutamate, GABA and glutamine were established after a 40-min washout period and amounts were simultaneously quantified after two-phase derivatization by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Under basal conditions, amounts of glutamate could be found 20-fold in comparison to the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, whereas this excitatory predominance markedly declined after veratridine-induced activation. The basal glutamate:glutamine ratio of extracellular levels was approximately 1:2. Blockade or activation of the voltage-gated sodium channel by tetrodotoxin or veratridine significantly modulated glutamate levels, but the glutamate:glutamine ratio was nearly constant with 1:2. When the EAAT blocker TBOA was employed, glutamine remained nearly unchanged whereas glutamate significantly enhanced. These results led us to suggest that glutamine release through glial SN1 is related to EAAT activity that can be modulated by intrinsic extracellular glutamate in human cortical slices.

Abstract
Electrical high-frequency stimulation (HFS) is applied in many brain areas to treat various clinical syndromes. The nearly identical constellation of stimulation parameters raises the question of a unique mechanism of action of this therapeutic option. The identification of a single HFS mechanism may help to optimize the HFS technology by targeting this single mechanism. Experimentally, only axonal membranes are targets of HFS, but not other membranes of neurons or glial cells. Within all HFS target regions, axons of excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic neurons are present and play roles in all clinical syndromes treated successfully with HFS. Therefore, glutamatergic or GABAergic fibres are likely candidates as mediators of a unique HFS mode of action. The selective involvement of another neuronal fibre type (e.g. monoaminergic, cholinergic, etc.) in the HFS mode of action is highly unlikely since the regional and syndromal dissimilarity of the clinical HFS applications precludes the assumption of such a fibre type as primary HFS site of action. Our recent experimental finding that HFS of human neocortical slices induces the action potential-mediated release of GABA, but not of glutamate, simplifies the possibilities to explain the HFS mode of action, as the explanation now may concentrate on GABAergic axons only. Thus, we are analysing, on the basis of the pathophysiological grounds of the various syndromes treated with deep brain stimulation, whether a selective GABA release is a collective explanation of the mode of action of HFS. We suggest that selective GABA release indeed may needfully and sufficiently explain efficacy and side effects of HFS.

Abstract
Electrical high frequency stimulation of the globus pallidus internus or the subthalamic nucleus has beneficial motor effects in advanced Parkinson's disease. The mechanisms underlying these clinical results remain, however, unclear. From previous in vitro studies it is proposed that the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system is involved in the effectiveness of electrical high frequency stimulation (HFS). In these experiments, we developed an in vivo model that allows for simultaneous and collocated microdialysis and HFS by electrical pulses of 124 Hz in the caudate nucleus of freely moving rats. GABA and glutamate outflow were sampled by microdialysis technique and quantified after pre-column o-phthaldialdehyde sulphite derivatization using HPLC with electrochemical detection. As the most outstanding result, we could demonstrate that high frequency stimulation significantly increased basal GABA outflow without affecting glutamate levels in freely moving rats.

Abstract
K(ATP) channels can couple the bioenergetic metabolism of the cell to membrane excitability. Here, we show gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated inhibition of dopamine outflow from slices of the rat caudate nucleus that is regulated by extracellular glucose via high- and low-affinity K(ATP) channels. During glucose reduction, a biphasic dopamine effect could be observed with first a dopamine increase followed by a decline at low glucose concentrations. Both phases were inhibited by glibenclamide. Pinacidil decreased DA outflow without an effect of glucose reduction implying an overall activation of K(ATP) channels. The first phase with dopamine increase was related to reduced GABAergic activity and could be blocked by bicuculline. Our results may be explained by different types of K(ATP) channels with low affinity of ATP and glibenclamide on inhibitory GABAergic and high-affinity on excitatory DAergic neurons. This led us to suggest a biological principle through which neuronal networks are functioning.

Abstract
Electrical high frequency stimulation of the globus pallidus internus or the subthalamic nucleus has beneficial motor effects in advanced Parkinson's disease. The mechanisms underlying these clinical results remain, however, unclear. From previous studies it is proposed that the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system is involved in the effectiveness of electrical high frequency stimulation. In these experiments, human neocortical slices were stimulated electrically (130 Hz) in vitro, and GABA outflow was measured after o-phthaldialdehyde sulphite derivatization using HPLC with electrochemical detection. Our results could demonstrate that high frequency stimulation (HFS) significantly increased basal GABA outflow in the presence of submaximal concentrations of the voltage-gated sodium channel opener veratridine. This effect could be abolished by the GABA antagonists bicuculline or picrotoxin. These results suggest that HFS has an activating effect on GABAergic neuronal terminals in human neocortical slices, depending on sodium and chloride influx. Since GABA plays a role in CNS disorders of basal ganglia, anxiety and epilepsy, its neocortical modulation by HFS may be (patho)physiologically relevant.
