10651109 Mercuri NB, Federici M, Bernardi G: Inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) in the brain does not affect the action of dopamine and levodopa: an in vitro electrophysiological evidence from rat mesencephalic dopamine neurons. J Neural Transm. 1999;106(11-12):1135-40.


In order to study whether the membrane hyperpolarization and firing inhibition caused by dopamine and levodopa on rat midbrain dopamine cells are affected by the inhibition of brain catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT), intracellular electrophysiological recordings were made from these neurons maintained in vitro.
