Based on recent experimental data, we have developed a
conductance-based computational network model of the subthalamic
nucleus and the external segment of the globus pallidus in the indirect pathway of the basal ganglia. Computer simulations and analysis of this
model illuminate the roles of the coupling architecture of the
network, and associated synaptic conductances, in modulating the
activity patterns displayed by this network. Depending on the
relationships of these coupling parameters, the network can support
three general classes of sustained firing patterns: clustering, propagating waves, and repetitive spiking that may show little regularity or correlation. Each activity pattern can occur continuously or in discrete episodes. We characterize the mechanisms underlying these rhythms, as well as the influence of parameters on details such
as spiking frequency and wave speed. These results suggest that the
subthalamopallidal circuit is capable both of correlated rhythmic
activity and of irregular autonomous patterns of activity that block
rhythmicity. Increased striatal input to, and weakened intrapallidal
inhibition within, the indirect pathway can switch the behavior of the
circuit from irregular to rhythmic. This may be sufficient to explain
the emergence of correlated oscillatory activity in the
subthalamopallidal circuit after destruction of dopaminergic neurons in
Parkinson's disease and in animal models of parkinsonism.
