Dopamine modulates persistent synaptic activity and enhances the signal-to-noise ratio in the prefrontal cortex. by Sven Kroener, L Judson Chandler, Paul E M Phillips, Jeremy K Seamans

“…When the background DA was eliminated by depleting DA with reserpine and alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine, or by preparing corticolimbic co-cultures without the VTA slice, Up-states could be enhanced by low concentrations (0.1-1 microM) of DA that had no effect in the VTA containing cultures. Finally, in spite of the concentration-dependent effects on Up-states, exogenous DA at all but the lowest concentrations increased intracellular current-pulse evoked firing in all cultures underlining the complexity of DA's effects in an active network.…”
