The phenomenon of plasticity in the striatum, and its relation with the striatum-nigra neuronal circuit has clinical and neurophysiological relevance to Parkinson and epilepsy. High frequency stimulation (HFS) can induce neural plasticity. Furthermore, it is possible to induce plasticity in the dorsal striatum and this can be modulated by substantia nigra activity. But it has not been shown yet what would be the effects in the striatum-nigra circuit after plasticity induction in striatum with HSF. Literature also misses a detailed description of the way back loop of the circuit: the striatal firing rate after substantia nigrás inhibition. We here conducted: First Experiment, application of HFS in dorsomedial striatum and measure of spontaneous and longlasting behavior expression in the open field three days later; Second, application of single pulses on dorsomedial striatum and measure of the evoked potentials in substantia nigra before and after HFS; Third Experiment: inhibition of substantia nigra and recording of the firing rate of dorsomedial striatum. HFS in dorsomedial striatum caused increased locomotion behaviors, but not classical stereotypy. However, rats had either an increase or decrease in substantia nigrás evoked potentials. Also, substantia nigrás inhibition caused an increase in dorsomedial striatum firing rate. Present data are suggestive of a potential application of HFS in striatum, as an attempt to modulate behavior rigidity and hypokinesia of diseases involving the basal ganglia, especially Parkinson´s Disease.
