| Abstract | Startle is inhibited when the startling stimulus is preceded 30-300 ms by a weak prepulse. Prepulse inhibition (PPI), an operational measure of sensorimotor gating, is deficient in schizophrenia patients, and reduced in rats and humans by dopamine agonists. The neural basis for the PPI-disruptive effects of dopamine agonists in rats is studied to understand neural circuitry regulating PPI and its deficits in schizophrenia. Existing data suggest that ventral pallidal (VP) GABAergic transmission regulates PPI and its disruption by dopamine agonists. We measured changes in VP GABA efflux and PPI in rats in response to the D2/D3 agonist, quinelorane. Wistar rats were administered quinelorane (vehicle, 0.003 or 0.01 mg/kg). In some rats, VP dialysate was analyzed for GABA content. In others, PPI was assessed using 120 dB(A) startle pulses and prepulses 10 dB over a 70 dB(A) background. Quinelorane reduced GABA efflux, with significant effects for 0.01 but not 0.003 mg/kg, persisting for at least 100 min. Quinelorane reduced PPI for 50 min, an effect significant for both the 0.003 (p < 0.05) and 0.01 mg/kg doses (p < 0.015). Differences in time course and dose sensitivity of quinelorane effects on VP GABA efflux and PPI are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
