RESUMO

The mechanisms by which the basal ganglia influence the pallidal-receiving thalamus remain to be adequately defined. Our prior in vivo recordings in fully alert normal and dystonic rats revealed that normally fast tonic discharging entopeduncular [EP, rodent equivalent of the globus pallidus internus (GPi)] neurons are pathologically slow, highly irregular, and bursty under dystonic conditions. This, in turn, induces pallidal-receiving thalamic movement-related neurons to change from a healthy burst predominant to a pathological tonic-predominant resting firing mode. This study aims to understand the pallidal influence on thalamic firing modes using computational simulations. We inputted various combinations of healthy and pathological (dystonic) in vivo neuronal recordings to the Rubin and Terman's computational model of low threshold spiking pallidothalamic neurons. The input sets consist of representative tonic, burst, irregular tonic and irregular burst inputs collected from EP/GPi in our animal lab. Initial test combinations of EP/ GPi input to the model were identical to the neuronal population distributions observed in vivo. The thalamic neuron model outputted similar firing rate and mode as observed in corresponding in-vivo thalamus. Further influence of each individual patterns was also delineated. By simulating the firing properties of encountered neurons, the basal ganglia output is suggested to critically act as firing mode selector for thalamic motor relay neurons. By selecting and determining the timing and extent of opening of thalamic T-type calcium channels via GABAergic hyperpolarizing input, GPi neurons are in position to precisely orchestrate thalamocortical burst motor signaling.
