Effect of HFS of the STN on 5-HT neuronal firing after chronic and acute dopamine depletions. (A) Firing rate of 5-HT neurons before, during, and after STN stimulation (100 Hz, 100 μA) in animals chronically depleted of dopamine by i.c.v. injection of 6-hydroxy-dopamine. (B) Firing rate of 5-HT neurons before, during, and after STN stimulation (100 Hz, 100 μA) in animals acutely depleted of dopamine after coadministration of reserpine and α-methyl-p-tyrosine. *, P < 0.05 versus relevant prestimulus baseline control values.
