P2 receptor antagonists do not affect corticostriatal transmission or plasticity. A, D, G Neither population spikes (PS) recorded in the dorsal striatum upon cortical stimulation in mouse brain slices nor input/output curves nor B, C, E, F, H, I high-frequency stimulation (HFS)–induced long-term-potentiation (LTP) were modified in presence of: AC the generic P2R antagonist pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2′,4′-disulfonic acid (PPADS, 20 μM); DF the preferring P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) antagonist Brilliant Blue-G (BBG, 100 nM); GI the selective P2X4R antagonist 5-(3-bromophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2Hbenzofuro[3,2-e]-1,4-diazepin-2-one (5-BDBD, 20 μM). Data are mean ± SEM of 5 experiments (number of different animals tested). No significant alterations of either basal synaptic transmission or LTP magnitude were observed with any of the tested drugs (Student’s t test at p < 0.05)
