ABSTRACT
The preceeding paper (Wright et al. 1985a) gives evidence that mesotelencephalic dopaminergic neurones regulate gross electrocortical waves with linear properties, by influencing the strength of their driving signals and temporal damping. The present study further generalises the findings to ascending noradrenergic neurones, which have different fields of termination to dopaminergic fibres. It is shown that Estimates of the major groups of natural frequencies for the telencephalic system obtained from curve-fitting the ratio changes in the power spectrum attributable to unilateral noradrenergic neurone lesion, are again centered about the frequencies of the major cerebral rhythms. Estimates of electrode transfer characteristics, using parameters obtained from curve fitting ratio changes in power, in conjunction with the raw left and right power spectra, are again found to be equal left and right, as required by the theoretical derivation. Changes in relative amplitude of electrocortical waves and their relative phase are significantly in accord with the relationship expected from theory.
