    Abstract

    Gamma frequency oscillations (?, 30?100 Hz) have been suggested to underlie various cognitive and motor functions. The psychotomimetic drug methamphetamine (MA) enhances brain ? oscillations associated with changes in psychomotor state. Little is known about the cellular mechanisms of MA modulation on ? oscillations. We explored the effects of multiple intracellular kinases on MA modulation of ? induced by kainate in area CA3 of rat ventral hippocampal slices. We found that dopamine receptor type 1 and 2 (DR1 and DR2) antagonists, the serine/threonine kinase PKB/Akt inhibitor and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists prevented the enhancing effect of MA on ? oscillations, whereas none of them affected baseline ? strength. Protein kinase A, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and extracellular signal-related kinases inhibitors had no effect on MA. We propose that the DR1/DR2-Akt-NMDAR pathway plays a critical role for the MA enhancement of ? oscillations. Our study provides an new insight into the mechanisms of acute MA on MA-induced psychosis.
