AZD1446 effects on intrinsic membrane and synaptic properties of spiny projection striatal neurons (SPNs), and paired pulse ratio (PPR). (A,B) Dose-response curves of input resistance (IR) and resting membrane potential (RMP) after bath application of increasing concentrations of AZD1446 (0.1–30 μM). Note, at higher concentrations, a slight depolarization and an increase of membrane resistance of recorded neurons. (C) Dose-response curve of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) amplitude (expressed as % of inhibition) measured at increasing doses of AZD1446 (0.01–10 μM). AZD1446 dose-dependently inhibits corticostriatal EPSP in both genotypes. Each data point represents the mean of at least five independent observations. (D) Paired pulse facilitation (50 ms interstimulus interval). Plot does not show significant difference between WT and DYT1 KI mice after bath application of AZD1446 (1 μM; ANOVA p > 0.05).
