摘要：

The medial prefromal cortex (mPFC) regulates sensor motor gating measured as prepulse inhibition (PPI) of startle. We here tested the effect of lesions of the mPFC on the PPI-disruptive effect of the non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist dizocilpine in rats. Neurotoxic lesions of the mPFC were induced by ibotenic acid. Rate were tested for PPI after systemic injection of dizocilpine (0.15 mg/kg) and after injection of the dopamine receptor agonist apomorphine (2 mg/kg). Dizocilpine failed to disrupt PPI in rats with mPFC lesions while the PPI-disruptive effect of apomorphine was not affected. Startle response magnitude in the absence of prepulses was not affected by mPFC lesions or drugs. These data suggest that the mPFC is an important brain region within the neuronal circuit responsible for NMDA receptor antagonist induced PPI-deficits. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
