TL;DR
EEG recordings revealed that both atropine-resistant (movement-related) forms of neocortical low-voltage, fast activity (LVFA) and hippocampal rhythmic slow activity (RSA or theta) survive depletion of brain DA and NE.
Abstract
In practical situations almost all classification problems are cost-sensitive or utility based one way or another. This exercise mimics a real situation in which students first have to translate a description into a datamining workflow, learn a prediction model, apply it to new data, and set up a testing strategy to estimate what will be the performance. The exercise is suitable for students following an introductory data mining course; it has been used in my introductory data mining class (3ECTS; 3rd BSc Computer Science students) for two years now. Students work on it in class for approximately 1 hour and finish the exercise at home. Solutions are to be sent to the lecturer and discussion the solutions the next lecture takes approximately 30 minutes.

The possibility is considered that a background of maintained activity within this ascending brain stem activating system may account for wakefulness, while reduction of its activity either naturally, by barbiturates, or by experimental injury and disease, may respectively precipitate normal sleep, contribute to anesthesia or produce pathological somnolence.

Recovery of behavioural effects correlated with an increase in the remaining levels of DA in the NAS, and there is evidence that remaining DA levels in theNAS are greater at 90 than at 14 days postoperatively.

A good case can be made for the concept that the physiological activity of the brain dopamine is quite different from that of brain norepinephrine, although there are as yet no experiments to positively show that dopamine is a true neuro-transmitter substance in the brain.

1,281 Citations1971Urban Ungerstedt
It was concluded that bilateral complete degeneration of the nigro-striatal DA pathway produces severe, long lasting adipsia and aphagia, hypoactivity, difficulties to initiate activity and loss of exploratory behaviour and curiosity.

Atropine-resistant activation of the cerebrum may play a role in the emission and control of normal behavior and may mediate many of the behavioral effects of centrally acting drugs such as anesthetics, tranquilizers, or stimulants.

Behavioral BiologyHippocampal EEG and behavior: Change in amplitude and frequency of RSA (Theta rhythm) associated with spontaneous and learned movement patterns in rats and cats
514 Citations1973Ian Q. Whishaw, C.H. Vanderwolf
Results are interpreted in support of the idea that RSA is related to higher level control of voluntary movement and increases in RSA frequency and amplitude during paradoxical sleep were associated with muscular twitches, suggesting that forebrain motor mechanisms were activated.

Evidence is presented to suggest that the hippocampus receives 2 nonspecific inputs from the brainstem, each capable of producing rhythmical slow activity, and the neocortex appears to receive 2 similar inputs, each incapable of producing low voltage fast activity.

306 Citations1965Christian Stumpf
The hippocampus is connected by afferent and efferent pathways with many other brain areas and, therefore, a drug-induced change of hippocampal activity does not necessarily indicate a drug action on the hippocampus itself.
ScienceDeficits in Feeding Behavior after Intraventricular Injection of 6-Hydroxydopamine in Rats
298 Citations1972Michael J. Zigmond, Edward M. Stricker
After treatment with the monoamine oxidase inhibitor pargyline, 6-hydroxydopamine produced no further norepinephrine depletion but increased the dopamnine depletion to 95 percent and produced complete aphagia.
Brain ResearchFeeding and drinking deficits after 6-hydroxydopamine administration in the rat: similarities to the lateral hypothalamic syndrome
292 Citations1973H.C. Fibiger, A.P. Zis +1 more
The results suggest that the lateral hypothalamic syndrome may to a large extent reflect the interruption of the dopaminergic nigro-striatal system and that other as yet unknown factors may also contribute to this syndrome.
Brain ResearchEffects of locus coeruleus lesions upon cerebral monoamine content, sleep-wakefulness states and the response to amphetamine in the cat
278 Citations1977Barbara E. Jones, S. Harper +1 more
The results indicate that the noradrenaline locus coeruleus neurons are not necessary for the tonic maintenance of EEG activation that occurs in normal wakefulness and in amphetamine-produced arousal, although they may be involved in modulation of PGO spiking.
Experimental NeurologySensory inattention produced by 6-hydroxydopamine-induced degeneration of ascending dopamine neurons in the brain
270 Citations1976T. Ljungberg, Urban Ungerstedt
Strong evidence is provided that the syndrome of sensory inattention was due to a degeneration of ascending dopamine neurons, most probably the nigrostriatal pathway, and is interpreted as a disruption of sensory motor integration.

250 Citations1973Barbara Jones, Pierre Bobillier +2 more
Two mechanisms were hypothesized to be involved in the maintenance of waking: dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmentum which may be essential for thetenance of behavioral arousal, and noradrenergic neuron of the pons and possibly the medulla which may mediate tonic cortical activation.

A survey of the literature on the action of acetylcholine, anticholinesterase drugs, and atropine suggests that these substances influence the neuronal mechanisms involved in the production of the diffuse desynchronization of the electrical activity of the brain, also known as the arousal.

167 Citations1978Terry E. Robinson, C.H. Vanderwolf
The results support the idea that a diffuse ascending system from the brain stem is capable of producing two pharmacologically distinct forms of RSA and LVFA, and this neurochemical specificity may be established above thebrain stem.

In otherwise profoundly akinetic rats that had been severely depleted of brain catecholamines, anticholinergic drugs caused excessive walking and the effect did not appear until 10 days after surgery and then increased with time, suggesting that a phenomenon analogous to denervation supersensitivity may be involved.

It is concluded that the locus coeruleus is not important for cerebral activation, and that mechanisms for cerebralactivation are probably diffusely represented in the reticular core.

Cortical and hippocampal EEG were correlated with behavior in rats before and after bilateral hypothalamic (LH) damage, and LH damage, while temporarily abolishing fast, appears to release slow cholinergic theta later in recovery, faster atropine-resistant (noncholinergic) theta becomes functional again.

38 Citations1979Ian Q. Whishaw, Bryan Kolb
The results suggest that hyperkinesia is produced by stimulation from lesion deposited Fe+++ and may be related to the development of chromatolysis, and the absence of normal forebrain EEG activity suggests that the stereotyped nature of the hyperKinesia may result from the lack ofnormal forebrain control over the motor systems for walking.

These experiments support the hypothesis that there are two types of neocortical desynchronization and hippocampal RSA, one cholinergic and one non-cholinergic, and suggest that atropine and scopolamine pass more readily to the neural system responsible forCholinergic EEG activity from the capillary bed than from the ventricular fluid.
