Popis: A single non-anaesthetic dose of ketamine, a non-competitive NMDA receptor (NMDAr) antagonist with hallucinogenic properties, induces cognitive impairment and psychosis, and aggravates schizophrenia symptoms in patients. In conscious rats an equivalent dose of ketamine induces key features of animal models of acute psychosis, including abnormal behaviour, hyperlocomotion, deficits in prepulse inhibition to an acoustic startle response and gating of auditory evoked potentials, and concomitantly increases the power of spontaneously occurring gamma oscillations in the neocortex. This study investigated whether NMDAr antagonist-induced aberrant gamma oscillations could be modulated by acute treatment with typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs. Adult male Wistar rats that has been implanted with extradural electrodes were placed in an arena for 30 minutes (baseline) and then subcutaneously administered either clozapine (1–5mg/kg, n=7), haloperidol (0.05 – 0.25mg/kg; n=8), LY379268 (a preclinical agonist at mGluR2/3 receptors: 0.3 – 3mg/kg; n=5) or their vehicles alone, and 30 minutes later received ketamine (5mg/kg sc). Quantitative measures of EEG gamma power and locomotor activity were assessed throughout the experiment. All three drugs significantly reduced the power of baseline EEG gamma oscillations by 30–50%, an effect most prominent after LY379268, and all inhibited ketamine-induced hyperlocomotor activity. However, only pretreatment with LY379268 attenuated trough-to-peak ketamine-induced gamma hyperactivity. These results demonstrate that typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs acutely reduce cortical gamma oscillations, an effect that may be related to their clinical efficacy.
