In the present study, we examined the effects of the cholecystokinin receptor antagonist, proglumide, on the depolarization-induced inactivation of A9 and A10 dopaminergic neurons produced by repeated administration of a classical antipsychotic drug (dopamine receptor antagonist). In addition, we studied the nature of the effects of acute (1–48 hr) and long-term (7 month) treatment with the butyrophenone neuroleptic haloperidol on both the basal firing rate and population response of dopamine-containing neurons in these 2 regions. Acute oral administration of haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg) results, within 1 hr of administration, in an increase in both the firing rate and number of spontaneously active dopamine neurons encountered in both A9 and A10 regions. These effects of a single treatment persist for a minimum of 6 hr and, with respect to firing rate, are not completely normalized for at least 24 hr. In contrast, 7 month continuous treatment with haloperidol reduces the number of spontaneously active DA neurons encountered in both regions in a manner similar to that observed at 21 d. This effect is inferred to be due to the induction of depolarization- induced inactivation of these neurons, since the acute administration of the normally hyperpolarizing, direct-acting dopamine receptor agonist apomorphine (64 micrograms/kg) immediately reverses this reduced number of cells per track to near control levels. This effect appears to be dependent on the continued presence of haloperidol since, when animals treated for 7 months are sampled 14 d after the cessation of drug administration, spontaneous activity is no different from that observed in age-matched controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
