Effect of CNQX application into the STN on the response evoked by PL/MO stimulation in an SNR cell. Fromtop to bottom, The response exhibited a triphasic excitation–inhibition–excitation sequence in control conditions; under CNQX application into the STN, the early excitation was markedly decreased, the duration of the inhibition was increased, and the late excitation disappeared. The maximal effect was observed 10 min after the CNQX application, and the recovery occurred 50 min after CNQX application. Each poststimulus time histogram represents 100 superimposed sweeps. Arrow indicates the stimulation artifact.
